The final event in the Northern Cheyenne Youth Rodeo Series: Promoting Healthy Activities for our Youth was met with a contagious enthusiasm through muddy conditions.

A special acknowledgment to all the enthusiastic youth who participated. The first event in the series brought 280 contestants, followed by 244 contestants in the second event, and concluding with 329 contestants. We truly hope that this series successfully met its goal of introducing young people to various rodeo events as a valuable alternative to mainstream sports and will continue pursuing them.
Congratulations to all those who placed in the competitions and to everyone who took home a new animal friend. Your hard work and dedication truly paid off.
See you next year!
