Happy St. Patty's Day,

Well Spring is here, so they say.  I know that it sure felt like winter this morning. 

it was good to see all of  you over the weekend at the High School Rodeo in Kingman, Ks.  I was very proud of the good job everyone did.  I know that its been very trying for all to get practice time in due to the weather.  Hopefully Mother Nature is a little more cooperative this spring.  I would like to wish all of you Good Luck at the rest of the High School Rodeos this spring.

I am proud to announce that some of our rough stock riders are going to represent our State and our association in Texas, this coming August.  When I get more information I will post it.  Good Luck to all of you.
