Photo Booth at the Greenlee County Junior Livestock Auction

Getting the pigs to cooperate for pictures is always fun.  Most people don't see the behind the scenes activity.  

Junior Rodeo Announcer Recognition

Thank you Junior Rodeo for the beautiful jacket. I love working with these kids. They gave away very nice saddles. Thank you to all the volunteers.

Greenlee Stick Stampede Rodeo

We are proud to sponsor a buckle for the Greenlee Stick Stampede Rodeo for kids. What a great event!

FFA Banquet and Easter Egg Hunt

Small towns; "You have to love them!" FFA Banquet had a large crowd. Kayla Presley you do a fantastic job with the kids! Easter Egg hunt; a lot kids - great time for everyone. Thank you Pride Society, Town of Duncan, and the Duncan Fire Department, and of course, the Easter Bunny. Have a Happy Easter everyone, and God Bless you and your family.

Junior Rodeo Series Opening Night

We had a successful start to our Greenlee Junior Rodeo Series last night. It started out with a tribute to Buff Crawford, a man that helped lots of kids learn to love the sport of rodeo. There was a steer turned out in his honor and also a quote was given that he loved, "Courage is being scared to death....but saddling up anyway," by John Wayne. Buff, you were loved and you will be missed.

State FFA Judging Contest at Lunt's Dairy

Thank you to the many volunteers that helped make the State FFA Dairy Judging Contest at Lunt's Dairy a success. It's unbelievable the community support that we get to put this on. Congratulations to the 13 teams that participated from all over the state. I enjoyed helping judge the contest. FFA has helped all of my children.

Greenlee Junior Rodeo Series

Thanks to the many volunteers and their hard work, we completed another season of the Greenlee Junior Rodeo Series. I want to thank the families who supported their children and made the junior rodeo a success. This is another reason why I love Greenlee County. Thank you so much for this beautiful jacket.

Trimming Steers/Wolf/Arizona All-Star Football Breakfast

A while back we trimmed some 4-H and FFA steers. Here I am making a point of what to look for in shaping the hoof.

This week I also attended a wolf meeting with the state director of Agriculture, Mark Killion, on compensation for the presence of wolves. I believe The Endangered Species Act never intended for just a few to bear the burden of the endangered species.

This morning I also helped serve breakfast to the all-star teams playing in the Arizona All-Star Football game tonight in Duncan, Arizona. I visited with the boys and there are some pretty fine young men represented on these teams. Thanks to the volunteers who help make this event happen.

Arizona G and T Cooperative's Distinguished Service Award

I was honored to be nominated by The Duncan Valley Electric Cooperative for the Arizona G & T Cooperative's Distinguished Service Award in recognition of outstanding contributions to the people of rural Arizona.

FFA Award Night Sponsorship

Once again we are pleased to sponsor a proficiency award at the Annual FFA Banquet. FFA has been a positive influence in my life and in my children's lives. What a great program this is! What a wonderful asset it is to our community and our school. The FFA has helped so many through the years. Thank you, Mrs. Presley for all that you do.

Javalina Chase

We just completed another successful Javelina Chase and Rampage. John and Pam Lieberenz once again did an excellent job of planning the bicycle race. Dan Carver also did a great job planning the Ghost Mine Rumble . I want to thank the Greenlee County Rodeo Royalty for helping us present awards. I also want to thank the many volunteers who helped with the event in various ways.

Everyone who attended the Rampage seem to have a really good time. There was family fun for everyone.

Greenlee Junior Rodeo Series

Greenlee County Junior Rodeo is off to a good start. We had several new participants this year. I would like to thank everyone who made this happen. This is a great program for the youth of our community.

Honored by the Greenlee County Junior Rodeo Series

I was humbled to receive a jacket from the Greenlee County Junior Rodeo Series for my help throughout this 2017 season. It was great to be part of an organization that does so much for the youth of our county. Thanks to all who helped make this past season a success.

Greenlee County Livestock Show

We had another great Fair, another great auction. I just enjoy working with the kids. Many, many thanks to all of those who helped. Isn't it great to be from Greenlee County? Don't our kids make us proud?

Greenlee County Showmanship Showdown

We had a very successful event at the Greenlee County Fairground. Thanks to all those who made the Greenlee County Showmanship Showdown a success, especially the FFA and 4-H leaders. We had a large turnout. The prize buckles were gorgeous. Come see these kids in a few weeks at the fair.

Trimming Feet for FFA and 4-H Youth

Helping kids with their 4-H, FFA and animal projects is one of my favorite things to do. Here I am helping this young man trim his 4-H steers. Doing this has allowed me to meet some of the best kids this valley has to offer, and I have met a lot of them. I have been doing this longer than I can remember.

Announcing for the Greenlee County Junior Rodeo Association

It is an honor to be the announcer this summer at the Greenlee County Jr. Rodeo Association! These are awesome kids, and it's a real pleasure to be a part of this great organization!

Arizona 1A Football All-stare Game

Great day and wonderful opportunity to volunteer on concessions with my friends at the Duncan PTA for the Arizona 1A football all-star game. Thanks for the opportunity and the memories!
