Justin Boots Championships in Omaha

Last week I was able to attend the Justin Boots Championship Rodeo in Omaha. Miss Rodeo Nebraska and Miss Rodeo Wyoming were also there.

On Thursday we did a school visit and then stopped at the children’s hospital. We met up with the Ak-Sar-ben Queen, Morgan Marshall, the Ak-Sar-ben Lady in Waiting, Gina Jespersen, and Miss Rodeo Cherokee, Tally Roepke.

The first performance was Thursday night. The Championship’s consisted of the top 12 contestants on the tour. They each competed in two rounds hoping to make the semi-finals and then the finals on Saturday night. Every performance was pretty intense!

For each performance we were able to help with mutton busting and after the rodeo we handed out buckles at the buckle presentations.

On Friday we had the opportunity to help with the Exceptional Rodeo. I was paired with Evan, he was so much fun! There were over 60 contestants and I was excited to see so many rodeo contestants there to help. After the rodeo there was a luncheon. I had so much fun and it was a blessing to see all of the smiles and excitement in the child’s eyes.

I would like to thank Carrie Goedeken and her family for allowing me to stay with them and the rodeo committee for all of their hard work each year.

Until next time, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself." Luke 10:27

God Bless,
