Despite a strong thunderstorm just hours before the start of the 79th annual Hereford Heaven Stampede and Rodeo in Sulphur, the show went on without a hitch last Friday, with thrilling performances by a host of contestants.
The two-day event kicked off last Friday at 7:00 p.m. and ended on Saturday.
“We had a great weekend of rodeo in Sulphur, despite the heavy storms that moved through Friday morning,” said Hereford Heaven Stampede and Rodeo volunteer, Kari Seitz . “The Ward Rodeo Company always puts on an excellent show, drawing a strong crowd and attracting many local competitors each year. It’s always a great family-friendly event and a highlight for the community.”
Seitz thanked the event sponsors and members who make the rodeo a success year-after-year, and to Billy Cook Saddles for sponsoring the queen saddle each year.
Chloe Drawbaugh was crowned Hereford Heaven Rodeo queen, and Jenna Walthers was crowned the rodeo princess.
