Well another fantastic season has come to a close for the Central Utah Jr. Rodeo association. What a fantastic night of awards, food, fun and an awesome guest speaker. I wanted to change it up a little, so i invited a friend who is so talented in so many different avenues, Danna Burns Shaw. Danna came and shared with the kids and parents some fantastic ideas.
Mostly about our thoughts, two most important things of the day. Our first and last thoughts. Then giving thanks and sending it out to the universe and watching our returns. Service, give back. She had that Danna Shaw twinkle in her eye and i knew we would be in for an evening of great words.
2009 saddles were given to the all-arounds, congrats to all of you and congrats to the reserve all around winners. One of my favorite winners of the night were the winners of the 13-17 heeling events. Racheal Fackrell went home with this award, and it was her first buckle win!!! How exciting, I get to rope with Racheal all the time and she truly inspires me. She has grown leaps and bounds and overcome so huge obstacles. She is a winner in the arena and definitely life! Another favorite was Zeek and Dan Woodland, Dan's first buckle win with his son. Those don't get any better, way to go boys. I love to see teams, team up and win. And last but not least Grandpa Winn, he showed up more than once to win a prize with Shad, Dixon and Brent. What a huge hero he is to me, and my children. He never thinks he is capable, but oh does he know! Great job to all of you.
Every year i feel a little frazzled as everything comes to a year. Then it's so overwhelming to me to see so many kids effort truly pay off. thanks for all the hugs, and special words, Casy and I love to be in the service of all you, that's truly what makes it worth while!!@!!
