As the dust settles on the 11th Best of the Best Timed Event Rodeo, we would like to thank every contestant, parent and spectator for showing up rain, wind or shine!

This year we had 283 contestants and 46 entered parents from 12 states compete for a total payout of $168,600!

This rodeo would not be possible without every person involved but a special thank you to our secretaries, announcer, timers, judges, flaggers and arena help for all they do to keep this event going.

We hope to see you all again next year, & if you haven’t before, we hope you’ll put this one on your calender 🏜️
