Mother Nature changed things up a bit for today's rodeo. All parking will be through the driveway by the house. Follow the signs. Please be patient and remember to wear your boots, as things are wet and a bit muddy. Judy's Food Truck and Bent's Smokehouse will be here with yummy food and drinks. Work with us and let's all have a great day. Bring your lawn chairs and coolers and we'll see ya'll this afternoon. Gates for spectators open at 2, contestants at noon.

Shortly over 1 week until rodeo time. Here are a few announcements:
1. All contestants for Barrel Racing, Bull Riding and Chute Do**in need to check in and pay the secretary by 3pm. Fees are $60 and correct cash would be much appreciated. Our secretary has a lot going on, so your cooperation is very important. We have a waiting list so don’t get bumped if you show up late. Buddy passes- can only be used if you are present with the contestant.
2. The above riders must be in dress code at all time in the arena and by bucking chutes- this means cowboy hat, western shirt, jeans and boots. Only contestants allowed in competition area.
3. Sheep Riders (entries are full), bring paperwork to the secretary on the announcers stand by 3:30. There is no dress code or entry fee for you.
4. NO fireworks, dogs or any other pets allowed on the grounds. Sorry, they need to stay home.
