DNCFR Special Kids Rodeo

The Special Kids Rodeo had 41 participants this year. They were able to rope cows, ride different horses and bulls, and feed a little miniature pony. They received back numbers and prizes just like the cowboys and cowgirls at the rodeo and the rodeo announcer Jody Carper was on hand to announce all of the events. My special athlete, Robert, turned 9 years old on the day of the special rodeo and got his name announced over the loud speaker.

Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo

Every night the state queens that were invited to Pocatello for the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo would take turns carrying sponsor flags in the Holt Arena.

Texas Roadhouse

Texas Roadhouse is a great sponsor for the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo. All of the queens went there for dinner multiple times throughout the week.

Pocatello, Idaho

It was an exciting and eventful week in Pocatello as we worked hard to promote the rodeo and educate the public about the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo. We arrived Tuesday night to attend a kickoff party at the Holiday Inn, the host hotel for the rodeo. In a leather dress, I kept my fingers crossed that no queens would take a dive in the swimming pool. The rest of the week we spent visiting schools, hospitals, retirement and assisted living homes, sponsors, interviewing for radio and television stations, signing autographs, raising money for Primary Children's Hospital, selling programs and raffle tickets at the rodeo, and promoting the sponsors at the rodeo by carrying their banners through the arena. It was a fun week. We found a Starbucks right away so that our energy was up and our eyes were wide open all week!
