We shared common ground in that he also attended school in Kentucky! He took me to see the anesthesia induction room, exotic room, small animal ER, Large Animal treatment and surgery rooms and so much more! I met Dark Vader, a rare chicken that is black in color and has black bones! I also saw a 20 month old kangaroo that had orthopedic surgery! One of the doctors that was giving me a tour of the exotics also showed me a baby wallaby!Īnother part of my tour included the Large Animal facilities. Burba, a sweet professor and equine surgeon. Of course, this always interests me and I was able to take a tour! I met Dr. The nook is a hangout/reading place outdoors that looks like a net and a cool place to be! During my walk around campus, I got to see the OSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital. I toured the popular spots on campus including The Union, Theta Pond, the nooks, and the prestigious water fountain in front of the library that is dyed orange for homecoming. I lucked up and got a spur of the moment tour with one of the ag students there. I was impressed with all the merchandise that they carried and noticed how many of the things that I wear everyday were Ariat! This store happened to be one that my good friend, Dakota, takes care of! It didn’t take me long to see all the hard work that she puts into her customers.ĭuring my trip in Stillwater, I passed through Oklahoma State University’s campus. When I first walked in, I saw the huge inventory of Ariat clothing and boots. More sponsor visits were in the schedule for Friday and Mock Brothers Saddlery was on the list.
#ECLIPSE SOLAR 2017 OKLAHOMA TIME ZONE PLUS#
The first performance went great with all the standard events plus wild cow milking, the wild horse race, and the ring of fear. The opening ceremony was beautiful with honoring veterans and the military. I led the grand entry with the American flag with well over 100 contestants behind me. We had a beautiful flag presentation and started off with queen laps by all the contestants and then visiting rodeo royalty. I loved getting to see the girls beautiful outfits and stories behind them! The evening brought the first performance of the rodeo. I had the opportunity to emcee the event for the contestants modeling, speech, and impromptu judging categories. Next up was the speech and style portion of the pageant in Teralton, Oklahoma.
To many this may surprise you, but I have never seen a ranch rodeo and I for sure didn’t want to miss this one! A few more visits around town for sponsors and then back to the rodeo grounds for the Ranch Rodeo.
We loaded up and headed to Ranch Burger, a local restaurant and sponsor of the Pawnee Bill Memorial Rodeo. Wednesday brought the interview portion of the pageant along with sponsor visits around Pawnee. There were two rounds in each event and the amount of talent that the kids brought was top class! I helped hand out prize money and the buckles to the winners and watched them walk away with smiles on their faces! It was only Tuesday of rodeo week, but man, was the crowd ready! The kids rodeo was an awesome event that let kids ride sheep, calves, and steers. When I drove up, I was surprised by the amount of cars lining the arena and the large amount of people present. When the sun went down, I headed to the kids rodeo. I met the lovely ladies and then we all moved to Camp Crossway, a church camp where we made our home for the week. I arrived into Pawnee and started the day with check-in for the queen contestants. My next stop was in Pawnee, Oklahoma! I have heard so many wonderful things about Pawnee and how their rodeo carries such great history with it. So I joined the club and am back to wearing glasses!
Although that fixed 99% of the problem, night vision tends to be a struggle for those that have had the corrective surgery. I used to wear contacts/glasses for many years of my life, but I was thankful to have had Lasik eye surgery 3 years ago. It was great getting to know the real people behind the sponsorship! He checked out my eyes in their state of the art facility, and found that I needed glasses for at night. Ward and learned of his history in the equine industry. I stopped by for a sponsor visit and a check up on my eyes in the beginning of the week. Okmulgee, Oklahoma is the home of The Eye Center. During my drive all across the United States, I pass through many towns that our wonderful sponsors are located in.
