Southern Circuit Rodeo 2017

Southern Circuit Rodeo season has come to an end. We love Southern Circuit, and we put a lot into it as Austin the President and I am one of the Secretaries. The banquet at the end of the year is where prizes are handed out.

Carly did well this year and placed in all 3 of her events. She won the tiny mite goat tail untying buckle (much to the 2nd place finisher's mother's dismay - she was sure her daughter had one more point). She also placed 3rd in tiny mite barrels and 4th in tiny mite poles.

Jill placed 2nd in Open Poles. Salsa, the rope horse, and Jill only entered half the rodeos but still managed to place.

Hanna won the junior goat tying buckle - for the 3rd year in a row (or maybe 4th?).  Lucy placed 4th in junior goats.

Jill placed 3rd in open goats and Hanna placed 4th in open goats.  (Jill was the photographer of all of the other pictures - you can tell she handed the camera to someone else to take her picture).

Then much to my surprise, Vicki Cahoon and I were given buckles and flowers for being the best secretaries in the world:)  Brad Sommerfeldt and Traci Aipperspach sponsored our buckles and Bailey Cahoon bought our flowers.  It was the nicest thing ever!  I am sure it is the only rodeo buckle I will ever earn.
