Sharing for those that knew and loved Ron. He was part of the heart and soul that brought the Thunder Mountain Pro Rodeo to all of our contestants and fans, we'll miss him tremendously.

As the Lewis County Rodeo Queen, I had the opportunity to attend the Grays Harbor Mounted Posse Rodeo in Elma, Washington. This was the first Rodeo of the NPRA season! My horse Ellie and I had a great time attending. It was a very fun Rodeo and I got the chance to meet some other lovely royalty as well.

sincerely,

Your 2025 to 2026 Lewis County Rodeo Queen Kylee

Have you ever noticed at rodeo that there are A LOT of folks that keep our event running smoothly? The volunteers that work on the bucking chutes ready our animals with their flanks, halters, (sometimes) saddles, and other gear to ensure they're ready for their 8-second close-up.

When finished, and after they've been delivered back to the stripping chutes by our Pickup Men, a different set of volunteers then works to "strip" the animal of their gear, and give them a visual inspection before they get to head off to relax for the evening.

Have you ever worked this job? WOULD YOU work this job? Let us know and show some love for our volunteers!

Do you remember the first time you came to the rodeo?

The sights, the smells, the energy -- all wrapped up into an evening of sharing fries and a lemonade until you eventually fall asleep on the bench and are carried back to the car.

Sigh...hang on y'all, we're almost there. 🐎🤠
