2007 RODEO OF THE YEAR

GREENSBURG

Accepting the award is Patrick Greenleaf

The rodeo of the year is determined by the members voting

for their favorite rodeo of the year at the KPRA Finals.

This year the most votes went to Greensburg who pulled together as a

community and committee, and with the determination of their stock contractor,

Medicine River Rodeo Co (Mike Greenleaf), to successfully host their

KPRA rodeo not even one month after the town of Greensburg was

destroyed by a devastating tornado.

Congratulations Greensburg from being the

Best New Rodeo in 2006 to Rodeo of the Year in 2007!!

 

OUTSTANDING COMMITTEE OF THE YEAR

for the contestants as well as the rodeo fans.

Hats off to each of you for another outstanding year!!
