There's a rodeo coming to Chicago's South Side this weekend to support local veterans.

The National Veterans' Rodeo and Resource Fair will take place on Sunday in Bronzeville from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Village Athletic Field. 

Over 20 veteran support organizations are expected to attend and provide resources like disability compensation, health services, and education. 

Eli Williamson, co-founder and executive director of  Leave No Veteran Behind, said he wanted to help highlight veterans' V.A. benefits while honoring Chicago's rich history with rodeos.
