"Kick, kick, kick, look, ride!"

If you hear that this weekend, then you're probably watching barrel racing at the annual Chas B. Davis Memorial Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Rodeo in Ringgold, Georgia.

Pro cowboys and cowgirls will compete for points toward qualifying for the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas later this year.

In addition to impressive roping and riding, there will be lots of family entertainment.

Gates open at 6 p.m. each night, the rodeo starts at 8.

Tickets are $15 adults, $10 for kids 6-12 and children under 6 are free.
