Please add pics of your family and kiddos in the comments to add to our yearly album. We love to see all of your babies grow up attending our annual roping, this is what it’s all about!

𝐂𝐇𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍!!!

We truly could not do it without these guys! From the first steer to the very last, they work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep things rolling smooth. Over our 4-day event, they never slow down—pushing, sorting, and making sure every single steer runs through that chute.

It’s hard, gritty work that doesn’t always get seen, but it’s the backbone of making a roping successful. 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 to our chute help for showing up, working hard, and keeping us moving—we appreciate you more than words can say! 💪🐂

We’ve got to give a BIG shoutout to Tracy & Anthony McDonald who go above and beyond when it comes to our shirt sales! 💙 From setting up, hauling boxes, keeping sizes straight, handling the rush, and making sure everyone leaves happy—y’all truly make it happen.

𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐋𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬!

From announcers to time keepers, handling entries and payouts—they keep our roping in line and ROLLING!

We could not have a successful roping without each of these ladies doing their part (and all the extra behind-the-scenes work, too). Their hard work makes the whole event run smoothly, and we are so grateful for everything they do! 💙

The Biggest East Raised us! Drop pics below of your kids and family. We love to see it and add it to our albums each year.

Saturdays Dummy Roping kiddos!

The next generation starts right here—with all of us doing what we love. Today, I watched kids pick up a rope for the very first time, but what stood out even more was seeing seasoned ropers stop to help them get it right from the start. Year after year, we see familiar faces return for the dummy roping, and it’s such a joy to watch those same kids grow and compete time and time again. But just as special is welcoming brand-new kiddos who bring fresh smiles and new memories to our arena. Our dummy roping has grown bigger and better every single year, and it’s truly one of our favorite traditions to host. We’re so thankful to be part of building up the next generation of ropers.
