In case you missed it…we had a RODEO PARADE this past Saturday.
The team at Bradberry's Best were the Official Parade Sponsors this year and made it the best one ever!?! Parade Marshals were Ty, Paige, Case, and Oakley Murray who got to ride the beautiful Big V Feeds Stagecoach pulled by their Clydesdale team. For the first time ever, buckles were awarded in a few categories too! THANK YOU to everyone who entered and those who came to watch. Our parade chair would LOVE for next years parade to be even bigger. So….if you know of someone who might like to participate or watch or volunteer, tag them in this post and get them to like our Facebook page. Spread the word y’all! 362 days till the next one 🤠

Saddle Rags, The Western Store is not only a Ranch and PRCA Rodeo Sponsor, they are also one of the biggest cheerleaders for the Cowboy Capital Pro Rodeo Association. Their enthusiasm and positivity for supporting the western lifestyle in our community is so appreciated and humbling at the same time! They even organized (staff/ALL the things) the 2nd Annual Cowpatty Classic Golf Tournament to help kick off Rodeo Heritage Days.
Our committee appreciates the Drury Family so very much! They support the rodeo - please support them by visiting their store located at 3021 W. Washington in Stephenville Texas or shop online at www.saddlerags.com.
