News and Notes from the Rodeo Trail, May 21

PRCA Stat of the Week

The four Wrangler Tour rodeos that have been completed in 2018 – the Clark County Fair & Rodeo (Logandale, Nev.), the Red Bluff (Calif.) Round-Up, Rodeo Corpus Christi (Texas) and the Clovis (Calif.) Rodeo – paid out a combined $1,075,885 in prize money to PRCA competitors.

Each year since 1928, the Greeley (Colo.) Stampede has recognized outstanding citizens for their many community and regional contributions to Northern Colorado. The Stampede is happy to announce Rob and Anita Reeve as the Grand Marshals for the 97th Annual Greeley Stampede. The 2018 Greeley Stampede is June 22-July 4. For Rob and Anita Reeve, food is how they bring people together and give back to their community. Rob has been to countless charity events or fundraisers in the past 20 years. He has a contagious, positive demeanor at his custom-made, steam engine-themed barbeque. Each year he donates his time and energy to more than 30 charity events, barbequing up to 11,000 pounds of meat to help each event reach their goals. “Rob and Anita are longstanding supporters of the Greeley Stampede,” said Justin Watada, Greeley Stampede general manager, in a press release. “You can always count on Rob to help you do pretty much anything. I don’t think they have the word “no” in their vocabulary. I know that if they are helping, the project will get done one way or another.” Rob served on the Greeley Stampede Committee from 2000-04 as the grounds chairman (2000-02) and then as rodeo chairman (2003-2004). Rob continues to support the Greeley Stampede each year with several barbecues for the volunteers of the event.

Andy Stewart and ProRodeoLive.com will broadcast the Will Rogers Stampede in Claremore, Okla., May 25-27. Each broadcast will begin at 7:30 p.m. (CT).
