1992 Dedication

There is something at work here among these rodeo fold. Something not quite physical, yet keenly felt. It is here all around you, and each time you sense it, it will take on a different look.... or sound.... or emotion.

Look around you and you will see it. You will see it in the determined face of the cowboy in the cute just climbing onto the back of his bronc, or the cowgirl fighting to stay on the back of a ton of spinning bull. You will see it in the joy and enthusiasm of the dancers, singers, entertainers, and crafts folk as their kills bring to life the culture of our country and western community. You will see it in the tears beneath the brims of countless cowboy hats during th "Riderless Horse" ceremony honoring those they have known who cannot be with them today to enjoy the competition and celebration.

Listen, and you will hear it all around you. You will hear it in the roar of the crowd for a great ride, and in the hush of the arena when a competitor is injured. You will hear it in th applause, meant as a token of respect, as that injured cowboy or cowgirl is helped from the field. It is there in the hundreds of genuine "Howdys" you'll hear all weekend.

It is here all round you and you can touch it. It can be felt in the handshakes an hugs of old friends reunited and new friends found. You will feel it too in the looks of pride on the faces around you as they watch their partners, sisters, brothers, and friends test themselves to the limits of their ability. Even though just amateurs, to their loved ones they are heroes just the same. You will feel it in the courage you seen in everyone that steps into a pair of boots, a saddle, or a chute to try to do something they never thought they could but somehow found the will. You can feel it in the months of training, planning, and preparation by the judges, officials, and volunteers that have make this rodeo possible.

Yes, you can sense it all around you in many different forms, yet it affects most it touches in the same way - they become family. There is something at work here and it is the Sprit of Rodeo.

To this sprit and the family it creates we dedicate this event.
