Trick Roping with the Cowboys at the Ft. Worth Stockyards

Lewis Events trick roping at Ft Worth Stockyrds

Traveled to Dallas/Ft. Worth this fall. One of our destinations was the fascinating historic Ft. Worth Stockyards. It began with the stock parade as the cowboys drove a herd of longhorns down the main street. Behind the Live Stock Exchange building, a cool experience was the “Ft. Worth Herd” where the cowboys explain the history of the cattle drive and show off the long horns up close. We took the rare opportunity to visit with the cowboys, trick roping and roping the virtual calf. We remained long after the crowds had departed, telling stories and sharing roping tricks with the cowboys.

And finally all together with the cowboys.

Turning City Slickers into Wild West Heroes

Lewis Events trick ropers in Kamas, UT

Not too long ago, in a town not too far away, busloads of folks descended on Kamas, Utah for a real live western experience. They came from all over this great country of ours to the High Star Ranch, as a reward for a year of hard work and dedication to their outfit. Lewis Events brought the old west alive.

Kamas Western Crowd

After a trick roping howdy welcome, guests got settled in socializing and relaxing. Then the camp cook served a plateful of mighty fine delectibles which kept guests busy for a spell. Then it was time to learn how to handle the Wild West.

There were plenty of lessons to be learned by the city slickers. We taught guests the fine art of trick roping, how to lasso a wild virtual steer, the excitement of discovering gold, creating intricate designs on leather bracelets, and all they needed to survive the next cattle drive.

Bellies were full, cups were empty and the sun began to set in the west. We now have a whole crop of new wranglers who are ready to tame the Wild West.

Not far from Chico at this same time, the Dixie fire was in its early stages and the plume of smoke could be seen from our site.  Nearby, the fire fighting teams were staging their equipment and our hotel parking lot was filled with Cal Fire trucks.  Thanks, first responders!
