Mr. Allred asked for a ticket and because Casey didn’t have a ticket, he was refused admittance. So Casey asked Mr. Allred if he knew who he, Casey, was. Allred replied, “Not even the Lord could get in here without a ticket!” The next year when Mr. Allred attended the rodeo convention, the matter of requiring tickets for performers came up for discussion. Casey Tibbs quickly spoke up, saying, “In Lehi, Utah, the guy there wouldn’t even let the Lord in without a ticket.” The grounds are used by high school rodeo clubs, local riding clubs, FFA stock shows, queen contests and team roping contests, and many individuals who need a place to

Lehi Round-Up Royalty 2022 Miss Lehi Round Up Rodeo Royalty By C.M. Bond The 2022 Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association’s (PRCA) rodeo season is underway, and the 85th Lehi Round-Up Rodeo is just around the corner. Kicking off the celebration is the Miss Lehi Round-Up Rodeo Queen pageant, which was held on Saturday, April 16, 2022. The new Broadbent Room at the Lehi Police Department was a perfect location for conducting the judge’s interviews, contestant speeches, modeling and impromptu questions. The horsemanship portion of the competition followed at the Lehi Arena. At the conclusion of the competition, the judges selected Rylee Warnick of West Jordan as the 2022 Miss Lehi Round-Up Rodeo Queen with Jenessa Sullivan of Lehi as first attendant and Annie Roper of Riverton as second attendant. We are excited to have these beautiful ladies represent our rodeo.
