This rodeo season has been a little delayed between the EVH-1 horse virus and the Wallow Fire. We had plans to have a Memorial Day rodeo similar to the Marlen Rogers Fun Day in the past. We were able to get almost all 27 buckles donated, and then had to cancel the rodeo in May. July 2nd was the first time we were able to rodeo, and it turned out great. The rule my grandfather had was that you can only wear one buckle at a time so you can only win one at the rodeo. 27 kids went home with a buckle that day. It was also close to my Dad’s birthday so we celebrated at the park with the fireworks. They didn’t burn the weeds and grass at the airport so during the show there was a small brush fire. It was taken care of and not a problem, but almost laughable while Wallow was still not contained a few miles away.
