It has been two years since our last show, due to covid. It was so nice to see everyone again. We had a very nice turnout of 16 riders. Nine of those riders also rode in the 50/50 Texas Barrels jackpot.

To have 16 riders when there were two other shows going on the same day was very good indeed. As it was set up this year you had to ride in all five shows to qualify for the series high point award. Because we had no riders in the Pee-wee class and also no riders in the 36 and over class, those riders will just have to ride in the next four shows to qualify for the series high point awards.

We look forward to hosting all of those riders again at our next show, and we welcome any new riders to this year's series. Show 2 of the series will be held September 11. Gates will open at 8 a.m. for registration and warm-up. The show will start at 10 a.m.

I would like to give a big thanks to Chuck and Cindy Cram and to Rob and Sheila Myers for all their help. Chuck did a wonderful job of getting the footing into shape. He also kept it groomed during the show. Cindy did registration and times sheets. Rob was our back up timer and helped with set-up in the arena. Sheila was again our announcer for the show and ran the timer. I would also like to thank Mike Antijunti for running the gate and helping with set up of the events. Without the support of these wonderful people this series would not be possible.
