And So It Begins!

On January 20^th, I was able to attend the Great Falls M.A.G.I.E. and met some local agricultural vendors. Jim Sargent from KMON Radio in Great Falls, took the time to introduce me to some of the local vendors along with the State FFA Officers. The Stick Horse Rodeo at the Lewistown Winter Fair was the next event on my agenda. I had a fabulous time with all 72 kids, ranging from age 3 to 8 years. Mary Knerr and the rest of the Back Country Horsemen where very kind to me and it was definitely the biggest stick horse rodeo I have ever attended! Two weekends later I was headed to Bozeman for the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame Banquette. It was a lovely event with outstanding auction items. Mariah and I both had the opportunity to model the live auction items and we both enjoyed the items a little too much, my favorite was the leather jacket. Thanks to Mike Gurnett and Jack Stensland for their hospitality in Bozeman!
