Outside Circle by Jan Swan Wood: Christmas already, plains storms, Buck and Ball entries, BHSS events
How can it be the last week leading up to Christmas already? This year has just streaked by. Next thing you know, we’ll all be writing the wrong year on our checks. Thankfully it’s pretty easy to turn a one into a two.
My heart goes out to those in the terrible storm event this past week. Wind damage, blowing dirt, and fires driven by record setting wind plagued the great plains region. Wind speeds of over 100 mph clocked many places. Several ranches in Kansas were simply wiped out by fire that consumed not only homes and buildings, but also livestock. I can’t even imagine facing that.
The New Year’s Eve Buck and Ball in Gillette, Wyo., has opened entries for the barebacks, saddle broncs and bulls. Much of the stock will be fresh from NFR appearances, including Lunatic From Hell. If you want to enter, get with it as it fills fast. Call Tiffani Robertson at 605-545-7865 for info.
The Dec. 30 Burch Rodeo futurity is taking 20 teams for $1,000 team, and you bring two horses four or five years old and one any horse for the short go. They also need 40 bronc riders for the long round, 20 of which will return for the short go. Entry fee is $100.Futurity is at 1 p.m., Burch Rodeo Stock will sell at 3 p.m. All at the CamPlex, Gillette, Wyo. Call Anna Burch at 307-682-3662 or text her at 405-401-5404.
