Trick Roping with the Dolphins

Roping calf on Catalina Island. Trick roping with Lewis Events.

A gorgeous fall day on the docks at Newport Harbor in Southern California. The trick ropes, microphones, cables, hats, boots, roping calf . . . . and wetsuits were loaded onto the boat. Next, we hopped aboard, sailed past the Balboa Pavillion, out of the harbor past the jetty, and were off to Avalon Bay on Catalina Island. Along the way, dolphins and seagulls accompanied us on our 26-mile journey. The dolphins seemed like they just wanted to have fun as they jumped in and out of the ship’s wake. After docking in Avalon, we boarded a speedboat that quickly whisked us to a private cove on the island. There is no road to our destination cove, so the people, food, supplies, and equipment could only be transported to the location by boat. Remote indeed!

We arrived at a beautiful, secluded cove, rolled up our sleeves, and got to work. The sound system was set up and tested followed by our tent and sleeping bags. Yes, our location was so remote, that we stayed in a tent right on the beach . . . . about ten feet from the water.

Lewis Event’s assignment was to provide a weekend of entertainment for the members and guests of a private organization, including trick roping, virtual calf roping, DJ and MC, and line dancing.

The tables are set and both Christy and Jay warm up before the guests arrive.

The guests did arrive and after a mouth-watering Western meal, they danced and roped for hours. Traditional and contemporary Western favorites were played along with some pop tunes to mix things up a bit. We entertained guests for two evening events and provided atmosphere entertainment during the daylight hours.

The beachfront event location was spectacular and the guests were a ton of fun. Our weekend soon came to an end, the bags and equipment were loaded and we made the journey back to the mainland.

Lewis Events will travel almost anywhere to make your dreams come to life. Even if it means we transport our equipment on a boat and stay in a tent. Contact us anytime to chat about how we can make your next adventure a huge success.

Lewis Events designs and creates amazing parties for a variety of exciting themes, special occasions, and corporate events throughout Southern California, Park City, Salt Lake, Utah Valley/Silicon Slopes, and beyond.

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.

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.

Happy Birthday Pasadena . . . Western Style

Happy Birthday Pasadena California!  For their official 145th birthday celebration, a western theme was chosen for the big event.  Lewis Events was honored to be chosen to assist in making their birthday extravaganza a huge success.

Crowds gathered throughout the day for the trick roping show with the beautiful Fenyes Mansion serving as the perfect backdrop.  Featured performers in the show were Cowgirl Christy, Cowboy Brett, and Cowgirl Emily spinning their trick ropes and cracking the bullwhip.  Guests kicked up their heels with some western line dancing as part of the entertainment.

One of the more popular activities was gold panning with crowds gathered all day long.  A few miners struck it rich as yells of eureka could be heard all the way up in the north forty.

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.
