Recreation

Tourism

Penn Valley hosts a rodeo event each year in late Spring and has attracted as many as 5,000 spectators during one of its events.[26] The Penn Valley Rodeo is organized by Penn Valley Community Rodeo Association since 2005.[27]

In the 1950s, the Penn Valley Fire Dept. needed funds. George Alan Smith, a local cowboy and heavy equipment operator, came up with the idea of holding a rodeo. George enlisted the help of friends and relatives on weekends, evenings, and holidays to set posts, build fence and chutes, and put up bleachers. The first rodeo was a success, and it took on a life of its own. The local Fire Department and residents volunteered their time and efforts to help put on the annual event. The Penn Valley Rodeo quickly became "the summer event" for people from all over California to attend.[28]

Education

It is in the Penn Valley Union Elementary School District and the Nevada Joint Union High School District.[29]
