🌟 Sponsor Spotlight 🌟

Today we’re recognizing a sponsorship that comes straight from the heart of rodeo…

David & Dinah Hilliard 🤍

Rodeo grandparents. The kind who sit in the stands a little straighter when their grandkids head to the gate. The kind who know this isn’t just a sport, it’s a way of life.

As T-Shirt & Program Sponsors, their support helps make sure every kid who steps into that arena feels like they’re part of something bigger.

Their support helps make possible:
• 4 Little Bandits Summer Series playdays
• Our 2026 Youth Rodeo
• Year-end awards and buckles
• A safe, fun place for kids to learn, compete, and belong

David & Dinah, thank you for investing in these kids and in this community.

When those shirts get worn and those programs get handed out…
your name will be part of every story told.
