Tuesday's barrel race was the last for year at Clements. We'd like to give a big THANK YOU to everyone that came out over the summer and supported the Clements Buckaroos. We have such a great group of barrel racers, family of barrel racers, and spectators that come back year after year.
This year we added a Youth class and we would like to thank Jennifer Bonesteel at Lee's Feed in Lockeford for donating awards to the Youth D winners at each race. Everyone loved their prizes.
We also have quite a group of volunteers that are not Club Members and we could not do these races without you: Jenny Sherbo, Regan, Zoey, Becky and Bennett Kolano, Amy Taylor, and Rhonda Balzhiser. Thank you for stepping up over and over to help make the races go smoothly. We appreciate you.
Several of our own Buckaroo Club Members also came out and helped put these races on: Debbie Anderson, Kendra Hesseltine, Sally Rivera, Rayanne Currin, Payton Smollinger, and Brian Gideon.
The biggest thanks we can give goes to our ground crew: Tom Jones, Justin Smollinger, and Alex Jones. Every barrel racer knows how important the ground is and these guys spend so many hours watering and working the ground before and during the race to ensure it's safe and consistent each and every race.
We were able to bring back the Buckle Series this year; thank you to the Harman Family for sponsoring the buckles made by Gist. We also received prizes donated by Lucky Chuck and Formula 1 Noni. Congratulations to all the winners!
Thank you again for spending some of your Tuesday nights (and a couple other days) down at Clements. We hope to see you all back next year.
