Well, regardless, we're diving into the nostalgia with a throwback picture.

RDRR has been graced with some incredible folks who've kept this rodeo alive and kickin'! Huge shoutout to the past committee members– you've all wrangled up some fantastic rodeo events over the last 46 years.

Whoops! With all the rodeo excitement last week, we completely forgot to give a huge welcome to John Grossnickle and Jessica Skinner as the newest members of the Red Desert Roundup Rodeo Committee!

Don't worry, folks; returning your buckles is not an option—you're in it for life now! John and Jessica, your years of volunteering have been a delight, and we're thrilled to officially rope you into the committee. Here's to many more years of cowboy hats, boots, and rodeo madness with the Red Desert Roundup family!

It is with the deepest regard and heavy hearts that the committee bids farewell to one of our own, Larry "Rich" Haskell. As we gather in sorrow, we humbly request your thoughts and prayers for the Haskell family during this challenging time, a sobering reminder that tomorrow is never promised.

Heavenly Father, we pause in gratitude for the countless blessings you have bestowed upon us. As cowboys, we seek no special treatment, only the strength to lead lives of honor. When our time comes to ride into the heavenly plains, may we be embraced with open arms, hearing your gentle voice say, 'Welcome to Heaven, cowboy, your entry fees are paid.'

Farewell, Big Rich, may you rest easy. On behalf of the Red Desert Roundup Rodeo Committee, Sweetwater County, and your extended rodeo family, we unite our voices in tribute, whispering, 'Your entry fees are paid, cowboy!' May your spirit ride beneath the endless western sky.
