WELCOME to the 77th Annual Gladewater Round-Up

PRCA rodeo. Thank you to our sponsors, volunteers, and fans for making the Gladewater Round-Up the biggest and best rodeo in East Texas. Without your support the Rodeo would not be possible. All proceeds from the Rodeo go to college scholarships for local high school seniors in the surrounding counties. This year nine scholarships were presented for a total of $36,000. 501c3 - Please note all sponsorship dollars donated to the Rodeo are 100% tax deductible. Please contact any of our volunteers for a sponsorship package of perks that fits you, your company, and your budget. Xtreme Bulls!!! This is our second year to have an event that is all bull riding, all night. Wednesday, June 11, there are over 40 bull riders holding on for 8 seconds to the roughest, toughest animal athletes the sport has to offer. If you were lucky enough to attend, then we know you had an exciting time. So mark your calendar for next year for Xtreme Bulls. The guy in the arena riding a horse with a microphone is 8-time World Champion Bull Rider, Don Gay. Listen up, and Don will be commenting on the cowboy and cowgirl performance as well as the animal athletes. Don’t forget to, “Give him (contestants) a hand Gladewater, because that is all he will be taking home with him!” Additionally, the Gay Family has been our stock contractor for years and we are happy to have them. The big voice up high in the booth is 12-time PRCA Announcer of the year, Randy Corley. Randy’s deep, gravelly voice has been lent to the Rodeo for 26 years now. Randy is the best announcer in the business and the Rodeo would not sound the same without him. GladewaterRodeo.com - Have you visited our website.

Don Gay

Rodeo Color Analyst

D

on Gay will ride out, on a good quarter horse, into Gladewater’s arena each night with a microphone in hand as the color analyst to give our rodeo fans an insight and flavor, in a style all his own, of what’s really goin’ on in the dirt. The first time Don rode into our arena he was only sixteen years old, over 38 years ago - it wasn’t on a horse, but on the back of an ornery bull weighing almost a ton. Don won the bull riding that year and has come back here every year since as a contestant, or stock contractor, and now color analyst. He has become one of Gladewater’s best rodeo friends and a part of the tradition that is so unique and special and is a big part of our making seventy seven years in the rodeo business.

Randy Corley

The Man Behind the Mike

T RANDY CORLEY

he smooth manner in which Randy Corley portrays the action taking place in the arena has made him one of the top announcers on the road today. His friendliness will make you feel as if he is sitting right next to you discussing the rodeo. His enthusiasm and excitement, as the level of competition rises, will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. All of these attributes have earned him numerous awards and honors over the past 35 years of announcing rodeos. He has been a favorite at Gladewater Rodeo for 26 years and 12 time announcer of the year.

At the top of these awards would have been the title of “Announcer of the Year”, which he has been awarded for a record setting twelve years. He has announced the Dodge National Circuit Finals and the various Cup Finales and Playoff Series throughout the various formats of competition set forth by the PRCA. He has also had the honor of being selected for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo eleven times. Following each performance of the WNFR, he can be found on stage at the South Point Hotel, Casino, & Spa at the popular Montana Silversmith “Go Round Award presentation”. Now that their children are grown, Randy’s wife, Michelle joins him on the road, often working as a PRCA timer. He enjoys what free time he has on the golf course and even manages to head across the Puget Sound for a Seahawk Mariner game!

John Harrison The Barrelman

J JOHN HARRISON

ohn was six when he received his first trick riding lesson after watching a trick rider perform at a nearby rodeo. Since then he has trained and performed with many of the best trick riders in the world. John became a member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) in 1999, as a trick and roman rider, and trick roper. He has since diversified and added barrelman to his PRCA card. Today John entertains with his walk & talk comedy that is backed by his quick wit, and with his strongest acts; Miss Rodeo Universe and Comedy Trick Riding. 2010, a new breed of magician hit the rodeo trail and this is one disappearing feat that would leave Houdini puzzled.

John has been selected to perform 3 times at the prestigious Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV. Seven times he has been nominated for Comedy Act of the Year, four times nominated for Coors Man in the Can, and four times for PRCA’s Clown of the Year. 2012 John picked up the coveted award of Comedy Act of the Year, and he hasn’t stopped smiling since. Blessings have continued as he was voted to work the 2013 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo as the Barrelman.

Wacey Munsell

In some regard, Wacey Munsell has been fighting bulls all his life. It comes with the territory when you’re born into the Munsell family, where his grandfather, Doug, started the rodeo wildmen tradition and passed it along to his children, Doug Jr. and Danny, who passed it along to Wacey. ow the 21-year-old Wacey is a world champion multiple times over, whether it’s in the freestyle bullfights or the Professional Bullfighters’ Daisy Protection Bullfight Tour. In 2004, he was the youngest ever to be allowed on the TwoBulls Protection Tour and the World Championship Rodeo Bullfighting tour, finishing as the world champion, earning the gold buckle just eight days after his 18th birthday. hat same season, he was approved for his PRCA card when he won the National Finals Rodeo’s Bucking Stock Sale. In 2005 and ’06, he won the freestyle championship when it was associated with the PBR World Finals, the second year sharing the title with fellow Kansan WACEY MUNSELL and current protection partner, Sam Gress. He’s also won the California Rodeo-Salinas freestyle championship in 2005 and ’06. ast year, Munsell and Gress added another piece of flavor to their careers when they won the Daisy Protection Bullfight Tour championship. he defending champs put together a quality run during the Daisy Protection Bullfights during the Colby Yates Challenge in Sulphur Springs, Texas, in mid-August 2008. I was 13 the first time I ever got in front of a big bull,” Munsell said. “I just really enjoy the rush and the feeling I get when I save a cowboy. It’s what I’m best at, so it’s why I do it.” e understands the intricacies it takes to be a quality bullfighter, whether it’s in the freestyle pen or protecting fallen bull riders. He enjoys the competition and meeting the next challenge before him. The protection bullfights are pretty tough all around,” he said. “Whoever is the most fundamentally sound will win. The competitions are great now that they’ve taken off.”

OPEN LETTER TO THE CITIZENS OF UPSHUR COUNTY

I have enjoyed the privilege and the challenges of serving this past year and a half as your Precinct 3 Commissioner. We faced, and overcame many financial hurdles. We are now on a path of future stability. It appears, we will be able to maintain nearly sixty miles of roads this year, while in the past, we have averaged less than twenty. IN ORDER TO SERVE EFFECTIVELY, I felt it prudent to ask those of you who voted for me, “HAVE I MEASURED UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS”? For those of you who didn’t, have I done enough to earn your future support? While encouragement and criticism are at opposite ends, both are equally important for the benefit of our County. I welcome your comments. Please let me hear from you. It’s important to know if I’m on the right track, and/or, what improvements might be beneficial to all. Contact me at: 03commish@gmail.com Or call 903.736.3134 Also, a face to face visit can easily be arranged. Respectfully yours, Frank Berka

Tie-Down Roping

roping run begins with a cowboy giving a head start to a 250 lb. calf, then giving chase down the arena. After roping the calf, the cowboy dismounts, runs down the rope (tied to the saddlehorn), lays the calf on its side and ties three of its legs together with a “piggin’ string” he carries clinched in his teeth. This is an event where the cowboy and his horse must be in sync and very athletic to accomplish this mad dash in a few seconds. Photo by Kim Hill

Bullfighter Aaron Ferguson

Aaron Ferguson was born and raised in High River, Alberta, Canada. At the age of fifteen he decided to test his hand as a rodeo bullfighter, working numerous high school and amateur rodeos. In 2009 while attending college in Oklahoma, Ferguson was approved for his Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association bullfighter card. Since gaining professional status, the twenty-five year old has quickly become one of the most recognizable figures in the bullfighting business. In 2013, Ferguson became just the second Canadian ever to be voted to fight bulls at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV. He was selected to protect cowboys at the PRCA Ram Prairie Circuit Finals Rodeo 3 times and the PRCA Ram Wilderness Circuit Finals for the first time in 2013. Aaron was also selected for the College National Finals Rodeo and Denver’s Rodeo All-Star Weekend in 2013 and 2014. In 2009 Ferguson was featured as a bullfighter in

Bareback Riding B

areback riding is one of the wildest and most physically demanding events in rodeo. Contestants must ride a bucking horse for eight seconds, holding nothing but a single handhold rigging cinched around the horse’s girth. A rider is disqualified if he touches his rigging, himself or the animal with his free hand, or if he is bucked off before eight seconds. Half of the cowboy’s score comes from his spurring technique and “exposure” to the strength of the horse, and the other half is determined by the bucking strength of the horse. Photo by Kim Hill

Bull Riding B

ull riding is perhaps the easiest event in rodeo to understand and may be dangerous. A cowboy tries to ride a bull for eight seconds while holding a simple rope looped around the bull’s mid-section. Don’t touch the bull with your free hand and try to stay on top. The scoring is based on 100 points with the bull’s ability worth 1/2 the score. With athletic bulls weighing upwards of a ton trying to get rid of a cowboy can make for a world event.

Steer Wrestling A

ll you gotta do - jump from a horse at about 35 miles per hour, grab a steer by the horns and wrestle it to the ground, stopping the clock as quickly as possible. Easily said. Not easily done. Timing, technique, strength and horsemanship of the hazer, who guides the steer in a straight path for the cowboy, are also parts of the equation making this a popular event.

Team Roping

T

eam roping requires precise timing and coordinating between the header and heeler, making it rodeo’s only true team event. The header’s job is to rope the steer around the horns or neck, then turn the steer so the heeler can ride in and rope both of the steer’s hind legs. The time stops when their ropes are taut and their horses facing each other. If the heeler catches only one leg, a five second penalty is assessed, and if the header fails to give the steer its allotted head start, they receive a 10-second penalty.

Barrel Racing

B

arrel racing looks simple, but try to circle three barrels in a cloverleaf design at breakneck speed, then you know simple it isn’t. The contestant must complete the pattern as quickly as she can without knocking over a barrel (a five second penalty if one gets tipped over), a monumental mistake when races are decided by hundredths of a second. Where speed is the name of the game—don’t blink an eye!

Saddle Bronc

T

his is rodeo’s classic event - Saddle Bronc Riding was truly born in the Old West, out of necessity, trying to “break” horses for ranch use and of course the cowboys got to testing themselves against one another. Today, cowboys are still competing between man and man - and man against horse. It remains as intense as ever. A bronc rider must begin the ride with his feet placed over the bronc’s shoulders, then synchronize his spurring action with the animal’s bucking style in order to receive a high score after an eight-second trip.

he Gladewater Round-Up Rodeo is continuing a popular event, Justin Mutton Bustin’, innocent and cute. We dare anyone to try to find a child, 5 to 7 years of age, that does not embody both of these characteristics. Contestants will be drawn ahead of time to compete at riding wild sheep. Their only job is to hang on as long as possible. The sheep of course have a mind of their own—”Mutton Bustin’.” Judged like the bull riding, prepare yourself for belly laughs when our contestants prove the thrill of competition while decked out in protective vests and helmets. The rewards . . . a Justin Mutton Bustin’ belt buckle and bandana, top score each night receives a certificate for a pair of Justin Boots.
