Tanya Froh has already seen her beloved Little Britches rodeo fall victim to the pandemic once. The president of the High River Agricultural Society doesn t want to see it happen a second time possibly the result of a rogue rodeo and rally held earlier this month near Bowden, Alta.
It s a possible ripple effect rodeo organizers, competitors and stock contractors fear from the so-called No more lockdowns rodeo rally, which drew hundreds and resulted in a charge against the organizers for violating the Public Health Act.
Athlete of the Week
Our KSEN/K96 Bozeman Trophy Athlete’s of the Week had successful performances on the track and for the first time this season, in the rodeo arena.
High School Rodeo, despite less than ideal conditions, got a full weekend of competition completed in Conrad Saturday and Sunday. The rodeo brought in competitors from all over the state and among the most successful among girls from the local area was Sr. Taylissa Lytle of Cut Bank. Taylissa competes in 3 events and placed in the top ten in all three on Saturday and two of the three on Sunday. Rodeo participants pick up 10-points for a 1st place finish and 9 for 2nd and on down the line. That gave her 21 points for the week and boosts her place in the All-Around race to 36th. That may not seem like a big thing but there are more than 100 female competitors vying for the title. Lytle’s best finish a 4th in the Breakaway roping, a 6th in the Barrel Racing and a 6th in the pole Bending.
