Hee Haw! “Spring has come, the grass is riz, I wonder where ole Balaam is! ” HEE HAW! Have I got news! “Cash “was so excited he rolled in the grass and kicked up his feet. Well, “Cash” is a goof, but I have to admit, since you ask, he has reason to be excited! (And so do you!!!!) As you likely know, the “Night at the Races” is nearly upon us and while I have refused to run, (unfair to mere horses you know), there are SO many other aspects of this event that anyone who is anyone will want to get their tickets for their Service Club, Community Group or Family! In addition to the great fun of betting on the horses and enjoying a great meal for the evening, there are auction items that will be up for bids. Any cowhand will drool over an authentic RYON KYLE HOGE Cutting Saddle! I kid you not! A HOGE saddle!! Even I might consider working stock if I had a HOGE! But there’s more! Imagine presenting that special someone with an authentic Theresa Pytell necklace! Yup. Someone is going home with one of those. Oprah and all you Hollywood types can come and bid, but you may have to just be satisfied with Tiffany and Gucci, Hee Haw! Theresa made these for local folks! But hey, these auctions and celebrations are open to everyone and folks from Aspen and Telluride are welcome to attend and take a shot as well as folks from Junction, Fruita, Loma and such. I guarantee you will be welcome too. Whoa! Did I mention the “fishbowl” drawing??? I know some were hoping they could get a date with me or that old cowhand I keep around, but trust me, I have something better!! Imagine an authentic CMU rodeo jacket and/or season tickets to Fruita Rim Rock Rodeo for a family of 4. Yup - Imagine you in premiere seats when someone yells “Let ‘er buck!” I have been in the chutes with some stock who really look forward to that moment and know you will be cheering for them when they toss that kid into the bleachers. (Have you ever seen a Brahma Bull laugh? Get near the chutes and you will!) And this is just the start of the fun!!!! HEE HAW! I can’t believe it, but that goof, “Cash” claims he has it on good authority that there are still one or two Grand Stand Tables available. Given how quickly they go, I assumed it was another of his goofs, but he swears it is true. “Charlie”, my lead horse admitted he had heard the same rumor and believes somehow or other there really ARE a few left. Good grief! Folks get to promote their company or Community Service Club, be recognized through the whole shebang as an event sponsor, get free advertising, seating, dinner and drinks for 8 people, AND sponsor all these therapy programs for so many disabled. folks in the Grand Valley for $650. And there is still a table or two left?????? Tell you what! You “buy a table” and I will have my old cowhand send you an original autographed caricature likeness of yours truly thanking you or your organization PERSONALLY which you can hang in your meeting hall or home or whatever. Afterwards, we will set up an appointment for you and me, but in the meantime, I guarantee a photo of my team working with one of our clients that YOU sponsored. Even better, I will invite you to come for a photo session and get a picture of you and me together. A lot of folks have selfies with Elvis - but only a select few get a selfie with Balaam. Class will tell! Hee Haw! Balaam |
