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.

Roping In Chico

In late July, Lewis Events traveled north to Chico, California for a western-themed birthday celebration, picnic style.  The host pulled out all the stops and made it an unforgettable experience for the 300+ guests dressed in their best frontier duds.Lewis Events western picnic ChicoWestern picnic Chico

Chico Catering did a fabulous job BBQing a western feast and the local Elks lodge was an ideal location for the celebration.  Guests were entertained by a trick roping, whip cracking, gun spinning, and square dancing showcase all kept moving by the cowboy DJ/MC.  Non-stop activities included panning for gold, virtual cow milking, corn hole tournament, calf & trick roping lessons, virtual cow branding, corn husk doll making, nerf shooting gallery, water slides, and inflatable games.

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!

Roping in Montana

Lewis Events received a request for a trick roping cowboy to perform for a western-themed celebration at an exclusive private resort in Montana.  So when the time arrived, Cowboy Brett flew from Salt Lake City into Bozeman, Montana, picked up a rental car, and began his drive south towards Yellowstone.  He said that as he drove, every mile became more beautiful with lush green pastures and horizons of towering mountain ranges.

Beautiful Montana Pasture

Closer . . . Closer . . . and then.

The event location was stunning.  A beautiful alpine setting surrounded by tall pine trees, breathtaking vistas, blue skies, and a gentle breeze. It wasn’t long before the set-up was complete and the crowds began to arrive for a real, old-west picnic and evening of fun.

Guests were greeted by Cowboy Brett in full western gear spinning his trusty trick rope.  As the party progressed, Brett showcased a variety of trick roping stunts with his lasso.  Adults and younger cowpokes were able to get their hands on a genuine trick rope and try their hand at mastering their own roping skills.  Brett brought along his virtual steer and gave everyone a chance to rope the cow with a real, old fashioned lariat.  The day ended with a corral full of new Montana cow folk, ready to hit the cattle drive trail.Trick Roping Near Yellowstone

Party Till the Cows Come Home

Nothing like having a western party in a milking barn.  Our bovine friends were polite, quiet, did not eat too much and had a very positive attitude as long as they got their turn on the milking machine.Lewis Events was proud to be part of a company party held in the Millenial Barn located at the Orange County Fairgrounds.  It’s an ideal location for a western theme party, offering a perfect country atmosphere . . . . cows included.

The guests enjoyed a variety of interesting activities including gold panning, cowboy games, line dancing, trick roping & whip cracking show, virtual calf roping, great food and lively music.

Right in the middle of the party festivities, the cows filed in and in an orderly fashion, took their place at the milking machine.  It wasn’t long before the guests took notice and crowded to see the milking take place.  I must admit this was an interesting first for Lewis Events and definitely added another dimension to the event.

Emily came away from the experience with some new friends.

 

 

Hollywood Christmas Parade Trick Roping

Christy and Brett joined up with the Broken Horn Ropers to trick rope in the Hollywood Christmas Parade.  It was a nice mild Southern California evening for a parade. 

Christy, Brett and the other ropers had their turn performing on the red carpet in front of the cameras and braodcast stand.

Southern California rodeo queens and their horses rounded out the large group.  The parade was a great way to start the holiday season.  And as always Santa was the guest of honor.
