Poteet, Texas-The Cowboy Fellowship of Pleasanton hosted their first annual ranch rodeo on Saturday, May 3, 2008 at the Poteet Lions Club Strawberry Festival Grounds. The event was produced by Jim and Shanna Gates' Triple R Rodeo of Pearsall, Texas. The Fellowship pulled out all the stops on a wonderfully cool May night--no admission and a free fajita dinner for everyone in attendance.
As always, the Poteet Lions Club made sure that the facility was in tip top shape. The ranch teams were evenly matched, but in the end the Soloman Cattle Company came out on top with 38 points. In addition to the cash prize, each cowboy took home a certificate for a pair of Twisted X Boots. Twisted X is the Triple R Rodeo tour sponsor, and speaking from first-hand experience, they make some great boots. Personally, I own three pair and I like the styling, durability and especially the one-piece footbed. If you are in the market for a pair of boots, you can't go wrong with Twisted X.
Team Ropers: In conjunction with their 5th Anniversary, the Fellowship is hosting a team roping Saturday, May 10th. A Bruton bumper pull trailer is up for grabs. For more information check out their website.
