Today we had a full busy day in Ogden with a few of the many events that are part of Ogden Pioneer Days. At noon we went to the Ogden Rotary Club meeting to inform them about our celebration. That evening we went to the Chamber Business After Hours Social with the Ogden Pioneer Days Committee and then to the Charlie Jenkins concert in the Ogden Amphitheater.

Tonight I signed autograph sheets with barrel man and rodeo clown Val Byrum for all of the kids at the Ogden Pioneer Days Special Rodeo. Val brought his barrel that he uses at the rodeos and we let the kids get inside while we turned the barrel. Some of the other events for the kids included: Freedom Riders, who assisted the kids while riding horses, Sundance- Ogden’s dancing horse, stick horse barrels, dummy roping, face branding, bull and horse buck stations, and a stick horse flag race. All of the kids had a good time and received trophies for being champion cowboys and cowgirls.

While I was in Nephi I visited with PRCA Team Roper Jason Rindlisbacher, a salesman from Morinda Care, a company who makes a Noni product for horses and dogs that promotes overall health in your animals. It helps them to build stronger immune systems and recover quicker from injuries. They gave me some samples to try with my horse and I’m excited to see the results. I appreciate their kindness.

Today I went to Nephi to sign autographs at Greenline/ IFA and also to do some radio interviews with announcer Mike Mathis and Q Country 97.7. The Nephi Ute Stampede is Thursday July 15th- Saturday July 17th and the rodeo starts at 8:00 each night.

I rode in the Ogden Pioneer Days All Horse Parade with the Ogden Royalty, the Pioneer Days Committee and the Whoopie Girls. After the parade I went to the park for a BBQ and signed autographed pictures.
