PARKFIELD, CALIF. – The 22nd annual Parkfield Rodeo is in the books. Everything went well, beautiful weather and no problems, I call that a success. We had 220 contestants and a couple new events that were received very well.
The All-Around Cowboy was Bob Brown from San Ardo and the All-Around Cowgirl was Alison Grantham from Creston. Both received beautiful saddles made by Vaquero. The Mike Boothe All-Around saddle was sponsored by California Flats Solar. The event winners received Bob Berg buckles.
Buckle sponsors were: Bella Vina, Caleb Works Inc.; Central Coast Trailers, Big Valley Labor, Coast Pipe, Farriers Warehouse, Borjon Auto Center, Mark’s Tire Service, Massey Livestock, Mission Ranches, Parkfield Cafe, Pioneer Ag Resources, Rotcho, Shadle Insurance, Willow Market & Deli, Templeton Livestock Market, Visalia Livestock Market, Plasvacc, USA; Cholame Vineyard, Sculpterra Winery, Ratliff Welding. Shelly’s Creations donated a purse to All-Around Cowgirl and Best Ever Pads donated a pad to the Friday night team roping.
Last but not least, a big thank you to everyone involved, you made it run very smoothly. Another year done, hope to see everyone next year. “Be here when it happens.”
