Some other highlights include: Jason Jennings and J.R. Henderson had the fastest time of the weekend with a 4.4. Stacie Coke had the fastest time in the Barrel Racing with a 13.951. Sandy Hobbs was the Reserve Champion Barrel Racer by 6/1000s of a second.

Now that winter is about upon us, I know that we really aren’t thinking much about the 2010 Missouri Finals Rodeo, but we have to begin. Most businesses set their budgets in the first part of the year for sponsorships. So, this is the time for us to start looking for sponsors! I challenge each of you to get at least 3 sponsors this year. Remember the quality of our finals is directly related to how much sponsor money we can contribute!

Happy Holidays to everyone! Be safe traveling and see ya down the road!
