NIRA - Western Education Program

Bryce Dibbern and Black Hills State University Rodeo Team had a great day at Creekside Elementary School talking with over 500 kids in Spearfish, South Dakota. As many of these college rodeo athletes come from ranches themselves, they take the time to explain each individual rodeo event and how they are similar to the western lifestyle many of us have the pleasure to live. Most of these children that they met with do not live on farms or ranches, and many of them did not fully understand where their food comes from until that day after taking part in the NIRA - Western Education Program.

These college rodeo athletes have made a difference in over 500 lives in just one short visit to a school before their home rodeo!

Garden City Community College
Farm Bureau Association- Friends on the farm day.
January 15th, 2016
Students attended: 730

Garden City Community College Rodeo Team had their hands full as they helped the Finney County Farm Bureau Association with Friends on the Farm. There where approximately 730 4th grade students representing 13 grade schools from different 3 counties attending this great endeavor at the Finney County Fairgrounds.

The rodeo students along with local FFA students served as group
leaders for the students to attend different stations and presentations about Agriculture. They had their own station where they presented information about the importance of safe handling of livestock and how it correlates with Rodeo. The kids were then given the opportunity to rope the dummy, and ask the cowboys and cowgirls questions about life out on the farm and ranch.

They also received many thank you letters from the 730 4th grade students!
