Dear Members and Parents,

            I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!  Our regular season is over and we are just waiting for the Finals Rodeo to get here.  To those who qualified for the Texas Jr. High and High School State Finals, I hope you did well.  For those who qualified for Nationals, congratulations and good luck!

            I feel we had another fun and successful season.  The finals will be here before we know it.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone again.  At the finals we are asking all parents to help in some way or another.  In the past the directors have done the majority of the work to run the finals.  This year I am asking for more parents to help.  There are barrels and poles to set up, gates to open, tractors for dragging that need drivers and we still need some help in the announcer stand.  For those who always volunteer and help, the directors and I thank you very much!  We put on these TYRA rodeos for the kids and enjoy it.  I encourage all parent to get involved and help.  The directors would enjoy being able to sit down and watch some of the events also.  Once again thank you to those who volunteer to help.

            This year at the finals the point system has changed.  Look for details in your finals packet.  If you should have any questions please contact me or any of the other director for clarification.  Also in the packet will be details about the extra activities such as jackpots, water slide and tack bingo.  Enjoy your summer and we will see you at the finals!

TYRA President
