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!
