Today’s rodeo performance is dedicated to Natalie Bennett — a dedicated leader, volunteer, and proud member of the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo family whose passion and hard work help create the unforgettable rodeo experience we all know and love.
For Natalie, rodeo volunteering is truly a family tradition. Her children are deeply involved alongside her: Breanna helps with Mutton Bustin’, Konner volunteers with the Golden Circle of Champions and wherever mom needs an extra hand, and Lilianna proudly makes sure everyone knows exactly who her mom is. Together, they represent the spirit of family, community, and service that defines the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo.
Natalie lives by the belief that “the only way to do great work is to love what you do,” and her dedication shines through in every hour she gives to this organization and community.
Today, we proudly honor Natalie Bennett for her years of commitment, leadership, and passion for the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo and the people who make it so special.
