How much better can it get with two amazing pro rodeos in one week?




How much better can it get with two amazing pro rodeos in one week? On Tuesday I loaded up my horse and traveled down to Sidney, Iowa. Tuesday night was the first performance of the week. Before the rodeo the 2009 Miss Sidney Rodeo, Morgan Mowery from Denton, Nebraska was crowned. Miss Rodeo Iowa, Lindsey Ahrenholtz, Miss Rodeo Aksarben, Holly Sucie, Miss Sidney Rodeo, and I worked cattle, signed autographs, helped with the mutton bustin',and enjoyed the best show on dirt. The next day, Wednesday, the queens and I visited the sponsors of the Sidney queen pageant to thank them again for their donations. The second rodeo performance was later that evening. I enjoyed my last night at Sidney by working cattle during my favorite event, tie down calf roping, and signing autographs after the rodeo. On Thursday the queens and I visited the Corner Stone Kids Days care in Hamburg, Iowa. There I met many cowboys and cowgirls who were excited about the Sidney rodeo.
Later that day I loaded up again and traveled to Carson, Iowa, for my second pro rodeo of the week. There was three great performances on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening. The crowd came together every evening to sing the verses of the National Anthem as I was giving the honor to carry the American Flag. The announcer Doug Mathis did a wonderful job keeping the rodeo running smooth and was a pleasure to meet.
I would like to thank my host families in Sidney and Carson. I really appreciate their hospitality. I had a great time at the two rodeos, thanks to the very nice people I met.
