What it says it does

The Greenhorn Mountain Veterans Association was conceived in September 1948 by Bob Robinson and Hal Duvall. Since its inception that fall, the GMVA has been a non-profit organization seeking to promote social activity and community welfare in the mountain communities of Woody, Granite Station, Posey and Glennville. This common goal has taken many different directions over the years. From community dances, barbeques, Christmas parties and Easter Egg Hunts, one thing has remained constant, the Glennville Round-Up Rodeo! Our PRCA Round-Up Rodeo has brought the community together to provide top-quality rodeo entertainment to Kern County. Many rodeo legends have competed in our little arena and the GMVA greatly appreciates all the PRCA has done to help us promote the All-American sport of Rodeo!
