 The meeting began by returning to the Red Bluff Round-Up headquarters, where a year ago, a task force of those concerned with the future of the California Circuit had met. This year, the meeting, held during the Red Bluff Gelding and Bull Sale, started on Friday, January 27, 2012, at 1:00 p.m., with a catered lunch. According to President Johnny Zamrzla, we had a growing list of those calling and wanting to attend when word got out that special guests, Commissioner Karl Stressman and John Davis, Director of Member Relations, would be attending from PRCA Headquarters in Colorado Springs. According to Zamrzla, we kept receiving phone calls from interested California rodeo committees and associates, and were pleasantly surprised when we ended up with more than thirty attendees.
