A Glenbrook Tradition – Experience the Summer Festival & Rodeo at Shakespeare Ranch
Every summer, Keep Memory Alive hosts its Summer Festival and Rodeo at the scenic Shakespeare Ranch in Glenbrook, Nevada, offering a weekend of thrilling entertainment and fundraising. All proceeds benefit the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, supporting its groundbreaking work in brain health research, patient care, and community outreach.
The Glenbrook Rodeo, which began in the early 1940s, became a cherished annual event until it was discontinued in 1965. In 2000, Keep Memory Alive Founder Larry Ruvo, his wife Camille, and the McGill family revived the tradition, bringing the rodeo back to life with all the excitement and heart it once held.
This unforgettable weekend will feature classic rodeo events like bull riding, along with a mouthwatering BBQ, live music, and more. It’s a chance to enjoy great company, unique entertainment, and make a meaningful impact on brain health research.
We look forward to welcoming you to Shakespeare Ranch for a weekend of fun, tradition, and philanthropy that supports an important cause.
