All I can say is THANK YOU! It takes a team of people for any show to be successful and the team I had the pleasure of working with this past weekend, was absolutely incredible.
This is Mr. Mark Northall and he is not only one of the best rodeo announcers, he is one of my favorite announcers to work with.
I'm so thankful that I was selected to have a small part in helping to put on 2 shows at the Gates County Rodeo in North Carolina.
THANK YOU to everyone who came out and PACKED the stands.
We couldn't do this without the fans and YOU were such a crucial ingredient in the recipe for success.
It was such a fun crowd and it was an honor to get to work alongside Mark Northall and the entire Gates County Rodeo team.
THANK YOU for an awesome weekend!

BIG NEWS, RODEO FANS! 🤠🔥

The Gates County Rodeo is leveling up for 2026… and we’ve got a HUGE announcement.

This year’s rodeo is bringing in one of the biggest personalities in rodeo entertainment — Dave “SHOWTIME” Meyer. If you’ve seen his videos, you already know he’s not just any clown… he’s the man behind the viral character everyone knows as “Jacob the Amish Guy.”

You’ve scrolled past him on your feed.
Now you get to see him LIVE, right here in Gates County.

Come have a good time, bring the whole crew, and get ready to laugh all night. This is the year you’re going to talk about — grab your tickets early!
