July 9th and 10th was the Marsh Valley Pioneer Day Rodeo. Allie Bohus helped manage all the queens, including myslef, with the duties involving the rodeo. We had our "Buzz" ride introduction at the beginning of the rodeo each night, where the Marsh Valley Royalty, IMPRA Queen Bryn Christensen, and I were introduced. The Marsh Valley Royalty packed sponsor flags and I was given the privilege of packing the IMPRA (Intermountain Profession Rodeo Association) Flag. What a night! The committee did a GRAND job of getting things together such as vendor booths, food booths, a candy parade through town on Saturday, a stock contractor with GREAT Stock, and in all- an EXCITING rodeo! The crowd was entertained by Barrel Man Fritz, who Saturday night actually asked me to be a part of his act!! Oh Dear.... Had to dance in front of the ENTIRE AUDIENCE... BLIND-FOLDED!! At least he was kind enough not to leave me as last man standing... He had his sister participate as well, and she turned out to be the one picked on for the night. All in good humor- the audience cheered her on immensely! :) Both nights were full of extremely talented competitors, and this will definately be a rodeo that continues for years to come!!
