The Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo last week and over the weekend gave us a great opportunity to spend time with the people that are behind the scenes but without whom we wouldn’t have a sport.
The Wyoming stock contractors on hand in Pocatello included Hal and Pete Burns of Burns Rodeo Co. in Laramie, Bill and Dona Vold Larsen from Triple V Rodeo in Casper and a whole pick-up load of the Franzen family representing Powder River Rodeo Co. out of Riverton. Hank and Lori Franzen started their bucking horse company with animals they purchased from the legendary Johnny Morris. Genetics have held strong and Powder River is now widely recognized as one of the top contractors in the business. The Franzens’ have encouraged their kids to be a part of rodeo and son John was one of the most active people in the mix at Pocatello. We had the chance to meet him behind the chutes before the rodeo one evening and give you the same opportunity here:

The Franzens’ daughter Jill ran sound at the national circuit finals and she is a gifted representative of a new generation melding rodeo and music.

The Chris LeDoux bronze and park dedication event is coming together nicely. A schedule of events is now posted by the folks in Kaycee. You can review it here: www.kayceewyoming.org
We’ll have another update posted on the bronze next week with Buffalo, Wyoming sculptor Mike Thomas as our guest of honor.
