Rodeo Roundup

It’s a wrap … The 87th Gladewater Round-Up Rodeo is now in the record books following Saturday night’s action. And the numbers prove it was a great time for all – as 12,575 rodeo fans filled the stands over four days, beating last year’s attendance figures.
A lot of cowboys and cowgirls like Ayden Dale, Lane McGehee, Remey Parrott, Sterling Crawley and Kaycee Killingsworth left with big money in their pockets, while many more will be headed to their next stop with high hopes of finishing in the money.
For the Round-Up Rodeo, it was a big night as the stands sold out and director Ashley Smith was honored with the “Director of the Year” award. Other 2024 honorees included Little Miss Rodeo Queen Savanna Sieber, Jr. Miss Rodeo Queen Kaetynn Santellan and Miss Gladewater Rodeo Queen 2024 Alexa Helman. In addition two highly coveted awards – that being the “Silver Spurs” given to Jackie Crawford of Stephenville, Tx., and the annual “Wrangler of the Year” award given to Sierra Moore. Trey Kimzey captured his second Xtreme Bull win on Wednesday night at the Gladewater Round-Up Rodeo’s CAPCO Gladewater Round-Up Xtreme Bulls”John Quintana Memorial.” Kimzey, of Strong City, OK, recorded a score 87 to top his competitors.
