Motherlode Roundup Rodeo

Motherlode Roundup was a BLAST! The weather was BEAUTIFUL, The Sherriff's Posse were GREAT, and the Rodeo itself was EXCITING! Each contestant performed very well, considering the stock they used gave each of them quite the challenge ;) ... WHAT A PERFORMANCE!!

Thank you Ty and Todd for making things run so smoothly and for being such wonderful people! The ENTIRE Sherriffs Posse Committee know how to run not only a spectacular rodeo, but also how to make a very memorable weekend.


I had the privelage of meeting all sorts of visiting royalty and the Motherlode Roundup '09 Queen- Ariel , '10 Queen- Kendra, '10 Contestants- Sarah and Kristin, and Motherlode Roundup Past Royalty! Thanks girls for making it a fun filled trip, I wish you nothing but the best in all your endeavors!

The 2 day rodeo was full of non-stop action! A long parade down Main Street, wild horse races, calf scramble, a locals roping, kiddie rodeo, and Punkintown Smith-who was a GREAT Entertainer and Rodeo Clown! - If you're ever in the Central California area, around Mother's Day, be sure to stop by Sonora, California for their Spectacular Motherlode Roundup!!

Calcatta




Motherload Roundup kicked off with a night of visiting/escorting/and bidding. The event WELL known as Calcatta! All royalty had a chance to escort the Calf Scramblers down an isle while people bid on the team they felt would win. Part of the proceeds from the event go toward a senior scholorship fund for the local highschool. The nigth was a BLAST! I met so many GREAT people, queens, and committee that ensure this event happens in the BEST of ways. The night was very unforgettable :)
