July 2, 2015 Specialty Act– Blizzard and Boo

We are pleased to announce Blizzard and Boo will be appearing at the CWWR July 2nd. Excerpt from http://www.blizzardandboo.com/ — Who are “Blizzard and Boo?”, you ask. Well….. “Blizzard” is a 9 year old, registered Texas Longhorn that weighs in at 2000 pounds and “Boo” is 110 petite pounds (when you put rocks in her pockets) of PURE heart. Blizzards’ devotion and Boos’ smile are unrelenting, bringing joy and astonishment to all audiences. Blizzards abilities seem endless when he performs, both in and out of the arenas. Blizzard will load into X-large chutes for grander entry. The pair perform under saddle, bareback or with just a bull rope. Blizzards gentle nature and love of performing make him the perfect crowd pleasure. Blizzard will be greeting attendees and with time for petting, visiting and photos. Blizzard and Boo AWH!!! the audience with their pedestal mount, pole bending, superb reining, cone racing and agility maneuvers.

Show your patriotism and wear RED, WHITE AND BLUE to honor our GREAT COUNTRY — THE USA!! Josh Rogan will again be rocking the Gus Darien Arena with his Americana, Rock N Roll, and Blues. There will be loads of family fun!! Bring your picnic dinner or visit Slow Groovin BBQ for great rodeo food. Senior Matters offers Grandma’s Cookies and snocones; and the Boy Scouts and Garfield County Rodeo Royalty offer popcorn for your snacking needs. Start your July 4th early and join us at the CWWR on Thursday, July 2nd at 7:30. Spectators will receive complimentary hand held American flags or patriotic pinwheels to wave during the rodeo and take home as keepsakes.
