I remember the first time I flew to Rapid City to join the scuffle of boots at the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo. Surveying the barren tundra below from a tiny plane, the ground was snow-dusted and empty looking. Little did I know how much this beautiful South Dakota town and its people would warm my heart.

I’ve been lucky enough to have come to the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo now four times, and every time I grow to love it more. The air of excitement, the rounds of Pendleton® Whisky, being serenaded at Joe’s Place and finishing the night with dancing at the 445 Martini Lounge are just a few of the good times and great memories I take home with me.

I feel so fortunate and so blessed to have this opportunity in my life. To meet the wonderful people, the incredible hearts and beautiful souls…to make the friendships we do, I am a lucky girl. Thank you, Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo! You always know how to show the Pendleton Posse a good time!

Let’er Buck!
