Trick Roping High in the Clouds

Posted on by

Lewis Events has performed trick roping and western performing in a wide variety of unique locations and circumstances. Sometimes half the fun is the journey to the venue. This job was no exception. The car was parked, the ropes and whips loaded and the ski gondola was boarded.

From the base of the Park City Canyons Village, the lift began the steep ascent up the mountain. The gondola passed high above the trees, over the ski trails with spectacular views the entire ride! At the top of the mountain, the destination of the beautiful Red Pine Lodge was reached. Assembled at the lodge was a gathering of young up-and-coming business owners brought together to exchange ideas, network, and have a great time.

The guests had a blast learning the basics of trick roping and throwing a lariat in the crisp mountain air of the Wasatch mountains.

Trickroping in No Man’s Land

Posted on by

Going back in time just a bit, Lewis Events was invited to participate in the Sabine Freestate Festival held in Florien, Louisiana. The annual festival highlights the unique period in history from 1806 until 1822 when a portion of the state was designated as “No Man’s Land” or the “Neutral Strip”. The region was a disputed area between Spanish Texas and the United States’ newly acquired Louisiana Purchase.  Local officers of Spain and the United States agreed to leave the Neutral Ground temporarily outside the jurisdiction of either country.

Over a period of two days, we performed multiple shows that included trick roping, whip-cracking stunts, storytelling, and virtual calf roping.

Sugar Press Sabine Freestate Festival

The festival offered a variety of activities and entertainment choices including a treasure hunt, BBQ contest, carnival, comedy show, folk music jam, parade, dance concert, vendor and food booths, a horse-drawn carriage, and the famous made-on-site sugar cane syrup. The mule did not seem to mind walking in circles all day long, powering the sugarcane-crushing machine. The syrup was then boiled over a wood fire until it reached the syrup stage.

We made a variety of great friends over the three days at the festival and enjoyed our wonderful experience in Florien.

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

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.
