Hail and Farewell

Folks on the Rooftop Rodeo Committee work hard pretty much all year around planning for one week of rodeo.  There are subcommittees planning the parade, finding sponsors, working on the Tough Enough to Wear Pink golf tournament, planning special event nights, etc.  Everyone works hard and is pretty invested in putting on the Best Small Rodeo in America. 

Of course, all of this energy and work has to be corralled by the folks at the fairgrounds.  Sometimes our work just makes more work for them; it is just a natural outcome of lots of ideas and enthusiasm.  We tip our cowboy hats to Bo and his crew—they make our rodeo possible.  One individual, however, will be sorely missed by the committee this year—Laurie.  Laurie accepted a new job, which has taken all the way to Town Hall.  However, a loss from the front office at the fairgrounds has turned into a gain by the committee. We are blessed that Laurie has decided to join the committee.  Thanks Laurie, for all of the 16 hours days that you dedicated to our rodeo (and other events) and welcome to the committee (no pay, but much better hours).
