Thanking sponsors and volunteers

The Cattle Call Mini Rodeo Committee extends their sincere thanks to all the sponsors and volunteers who helped make the 28th annual “Mini Rodeo for Special People” a great success. Volunteers of all ages from around the Imperial Valley were involved in the production helping set up for the events, providing stock and equipment and competing in the events.

Thank you to John Muse for announcing, Mario Roacho of Extreme Pro Audio for the sound system, Hugh Kissick Jr., Danny Williams and Mikalou Valenzuela for prepping the arena, Leonard Vasquez for the wagon, Justin Spieler for flagging, the Cattle Call Queen Anne Locher, Teen Queen Kamrin Dickerson, Junior Queen Gianna Cox, Little Miss Genesis Whitt and national anthem singer Dulce Luna. Special thanks go to the parents and contestants, the Arena & Grandstand Crew from the BUHS Rodeo Club and our many kid clowns for showing the crowd great comedy entertainment. Thank you to CMC Wayne Marcus and the volunteers from Naval Air Facility in El Centro, and Travis Dove and Russell Smith for their cattle and the Team Ropers. We would also like to give a big thank you to our sponsors; the SELPA Program at Imperial County Office of Education, Gold Cross Ambulance, Jack in the Box, Dr. Glenn Sarot, CalEnergy Operating Co., Ruth Williams, Wilson families and Friends of David Willingham and Karen Reed.

We could not do this special event without the help of all these people giving of their time, talent and resources. It is as rewarding to the Mini Rodeo Committee, volunteers and sponsors as it is to our special audience who experience an exciting morning of rodeo action.
