All year long, cowboys and gals compete about every weekend, only to go to Las Vegas to qualify for the National Rodeo Finals. They are the best of the best, and this year of 2021, the truly America sport shows off it's best for ten straight days with various bucking bulls; horses and gals riding around barrel's at top speeds. Whoever wins the most at the end of Oct. qualifies them and the animal to Vegas, the home of the National Rodeo Finals since they departed OKC. In the 1950's and 60's it was the boxing Fullmer brothers that made West Jordan, Utah famous, and now it is the Wright Boys out of Beaver County that country folks are putting on the pedestal of sports. For ten rounds and ten days, they begin with a prayer, then the National Anthem, and the thousands who are able to get tickets are as somber and respectful as any sport in America. The Nephi Jones boys have made it their only vacation for decades, and it is our getaway. If you are able to dress the part and sneak around the ever present security, one may sneak behind the chutes at the UNLV arena. You may talk to some guy named RIP, who I only come to know as "Cole" and with his cute blonde daughter, who said he was in some type of western series of which I have never seen. And you just may bump into Kristi Noem who said she was the Governor of a state in the Dakota Territory. I found her to be a 50 year old beauty, who was very articulate and I could see her as President of these United States and knows how to handle a horse and likes to pick fights with rappers. Utah should stand and give a standing ovation to all of the rural stars of Utah, who want to keep horses alive and well. Vegas remains Vegas, with billionaire hotels and less advertised is one of the top cities in America for homeless and violent crimes. This Jones boy had to go mix with them anyway and get their stories. We found a good one in Andre and his "twin" brother. Lets call me "Rusty". We gave him some dough, but he was more intrigued with his Spam and Kipper snacks before Hal Jones said lets get the "Holy Hell" out of here. LONG LIVE COWBOYS. Stetson Jones even was given a$500 Chip. Lucky stiff. Bareback Champ was a Nephi Council National Anthem leader who loves the Ute Stampede. Kaycee Feild, your old man is proud of you in Heavens Arena.
