We've got some more Muttin' Busters coming at you!

We’re excited to introduce Hudson Gehlher, who will be muttin’ bustin’ at the rodeo on Saturday!

Hudson just turned 8 and is always on the move. He loves playing with his Army toys, building Legos, and spending as much time outside as he can. When he’s not busy being a kid, he’s helping out on the farm with the cows, chickens, and sheep.
He’s got a big heart, a lot of grit, and we can’t wait to watch him take on the arena. Cheer him on! 💪

The James River Rodeo is also bringing a ranch rodeo to town during Buffalo Days this year. We hope to see you there.

Meet Wesley and Walker Weganast — two young guns from Jamestown who are always on the move!

Now it’s time to trade the throttle for some wool and see if they can hang on tight at Mutton Busting Saturday June 27th! 🐑🤠

Our next Mutton Bustin’ kid is Shyilo who loves being outside! He enjoys finding all the creepy crawly bugs and spending time on the farm with his grandpa. He is happiest when he’s outside adventuring.

Shyilo will grip tight on Saturday the 27th with a shot at winning the coveted Championship buckle!

Hey y’all, meet Silas! He is a busy outdoor boy! You can usually find him playing in the dirt, riding his bike, or out on the ice playing hockey. He loves being active and is always on the go!
