Final Results - Livermore Rodeo - (see below)

On June 14 & 15, 2014, rodeo fans packed the Livermore Stadium for the 96th Annual Livermore Rodeo.  Congratulations to all of the contestants, the committee, the sponsors, and all of the volunteers!  Thank you rodeo fans for coming out to support the Livermore Rodeo and for your support of our cowboys and cowgirls and the sport of Professional Rodeo!

One of the exciting stories coming out of Livermore is their "Hometown Cowboy", Teddy Athan, won the Saddle Bronc Riding Title.  In an interview with Wrangler Network, Teddy said, "...That was a big deal and made it a little different", Athan said about winning at the Livermore Rodeo for the first time in his career. "I've been coming to this rodeo since 2008 and I have placed here and there, but never won it.  I had all my family and friends in the stands and this is a win I will never forget..."  For full interview, see link.

Thank you to Phil Doyle for allowing us to share this photo!

Additionally, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Frost presented a commemorative buckle in honor of their son, Lane Frost, to Steve Woolsey. Steve had the best bull ride of the rodeo.  For photos of the Livermore Rodeo, please visit their website  and Facebook.  PRCA Photographer photos may be found at:  Matt Cohen  ( website / Facebook ), Phil Doyle ( website / Facebook ), and Richard Ruef  ( Website ).
