I spent an awesome week in Mercedes,TX for the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show and Rodeo! Got to hang out with so many new friends, longtime friends and people I have so much respect for. Not just in the rodeo world but in life. We laughed, joked, told stories and caught up on the times since we had last seen each other. The committee, stock contractors, contract personnel, livestock, contestants and volunteers all brought their “A” game and it showed. The crowds were nuts and go crazy for that rodeo! I am truly blessed and thankful for times like these. Thank you to each and every one of you that make rodeo so awesome!

2024 Turquoise Circuit ProRodeo Finals was one heck of a suspense filled and exciting ride!!! All of the Year End and Event competition was top notch, and the personnel and contestant list was some of the best I've ever worked with. I was in awe of how close the times and scores were and I'm glad I didn't make any predictions. It was so great to see so many of my favorites and meet so many new young competitors. I was truly honored to be a small part of this year's event. I look forward to seeing the competition heat up again in 2025! Congratulations to all of our NFR Open Qualifiers and GOD speed to those headed to the Super Bowl of Rodeo, the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo!

James Horcasitas is no stranger to the Turquoise Circuit, much less the Turquoise Circuit Finals. This will be Horcasitas’ third consecutive year announcing in Camp Verde, AZ, and this year is no less special than the prior years. “I’m super excited to have the honor to be part of it”, Horcasitas said in regard to the three-peat, “This is a chance to watch the best in the circuit show off. There’s some superstars here in the circuit ”.

You may recognize his voice from his co-announcing position at the World’s Oldest Rodeo Prescott Frontier Days in Prescott, AZ over the past few years. We look forward to having him announce our champions this year on November 1-2 in Camp Verde, AZ.

We are so thankful for our wonderful sponsors; Cinch, Las Vegas Events, RAM, Montana Silversmiths, and The Cowboy Channel, for all of their support!

Last weekend was a very special trip down memory lane when I got to work one of my very first rodeos for the 20th year! Benson Butterfield Days Rodeo and Heather Floyd took a chance on me when I was just getting started out announcing. They have treated me like family since day 1 and I have watched her kiddos grow up into outstanding adults. This rodeo and this crew have been the epitome of loving what ya do and why we do what we do. They were even so cool they gave me a custom Hat Can and a few other "select" prizes inside to celebrate the occasion. Thank you all for 20 wonderful years of fun with more to come!
