Our CYRA 2025 season is a wrap! We want to send out a huge THANK YOU to so many people who helped make finals a success.

Parents! Thank you for choosing to rodeo with us year after year and support the kids in the best sport, rodeo.

Of course, all the event directors and volunteers from barrel & pole setters, goat carriers, roping box and back pen help (including everyone's favorite rodeo grandpa, Larry). We truly have the best back pen and roping help!

Thank you to Tee, Kobey, and JR for roping with the kids and being amazing role models.

Thank you to our awesome judges this weekend - Leroy Hays and Jeff Davis. And of course Donnie, who showed up to support the kids!

Our stock contractors are the best out there, Russ Heineman and Kobey Miller!

Thank you Annie Erichsen for announcing, our timers Buffy Dayle (head timer & coordinator), Erin Zook, and Aundi Miller.

The awesome pictures from this weekend were taken by Maggie Pryor, who is going to be a board member next year, thank you Maggie!

Our Saturday night festivities were a hit! Thank you Kristi Koch for leading youth group, thank you to the entire youth board who pulled off one of the best dances yet, and shout out to our shrimp broil coordinators and cookers - Nick, Brandon, & Clark.

Prayer warriors, we need your support.
Our dear friend Donnie, a long time judge and part of our rodeo family, suffered a stroke today and is currently in the hospital. Please keep him in your prayers. We will share updates as we receive them.
