Rodeo

The new 2014 Miss Rodeo Colorado was named yesterday at the Greeley Stampede. Rhianna Russell, daughter of James and Kimberly Russell of Pine, Colo., won the 4-day pageant.

With hits like "Me and God," "Would You Go With Me," "Firecracker" and "Your Man," Josh Turner is sure to be a crowd pleaser and a great opening show for the Greeley Stampede this year.

The Greeley Stampede sort of signifies that Summer is officially in full swing and that swing gets cranking this Thursday with the PRCA Xtreme Bulls event (7:00 PM) at Island Grove and I hope you will make plans to join me as broadcast my show live from the Stampede.

Chances are that you were one of the 636,663 people who went to the National Western Stock Show in Denver last year. Even though that sounds like a lot of people, well it is a lot, but the record was set in 2006 when 726,972 showed up.

A couple weeks ago Brian Gary asked for your prayers for Rodeo legend Leon Coffee, who was in the hospital battling bacterial meningitis, and thousands of you responded.  Leon and his family appreciate all the thoughts and prayers and well wishes.   He has since been released from the hospital and is recovering at home, but Mr. Coffee still needs your help.

A rodeo legend needs your help. Rodeo clown Leon Coffee is in the hospital with meningitis. Leon has entertained so many people through the years with the class and humor of a true gentleman. He has touched so many lives.

My son Cade and I decided to pick our favorite riders and bulls for this years PBR run.

Greeley Stampede tickets would be perfect stocking stuffers this Christmas. Individual  Pro Rodeo and demolition derby tickets for the Greeley Stampede will go on sale on Wednesday, December 15th at 9am.
