Personnel
We have an outstanding lineup for our rodeos this year!
Announcer - Wayne Wise
Wayne Wise from Dublin, TX, has been a rodeo announcer for the past 38 years. His travels have literally taken him from coast to coast and border to border. Wayne was also fortunate enough to announce rodeos in Paris, France; Anchorage, Alaska; as well as Fairbanks, Alaska.
However, Wayne has a very special place in his heart for rodeos in Utah. "Of all of the places I've been in my career, I truly believe Utah has some of the most enthusiastic and vocal rodeo fans in the game. Big rodeos, little rodeos, and everything between, Utah fans are legit".
Aside from his rodeo career, Wayne is also an accomplished saddle maker and leather artisan. "While I love being behind the microphone, looking out over my pasture tooling leather, is a close second. I'm truly blessed to be able to do the things I love to do, and make a living doing them."
You can see some of Wayne's craftsmanship at www.bullskullz.com.
“Ya'll enjoy the show.”

Clown & Barrelman - Donnie Landis
Donnie Landis is a fourth-generation rodeo cowboy and has been in the barrel, off and on, for over 50 years. The first time Donnie was in a Rodeo arena he was four years old helping his dad do his clown acts. “I was lucky. Because of my dad, I learned from the “old school,” where a rodeo clown had to do everything – fight bulls, have comedy acts, entertain, and save lives.”
When Donnie was 12 years old he started clowning and fighting bulls at the California Cowboys Association (CCA) rodeos, now known as the C.C.P.R.A.
Donnie turned professional when he was 18! As a professional, Donnie has worked many major rodeos, from as big as the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in 1993 and 1995, and as little as McCord Saskatchewan, Canada. Other rodeos Donnie has worked are the Pendleton Round-up, Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Reno Rodeo, California Salinas Rodeo, as well as the Calgary Stampede.
In 1996 Donnie started the first miniature bucking bull company in the U.S., Lil’ Bucks Bull Co. In 1997 he formed the Junior Bull Riders tour, otherwise known as the JBR, the first ever youth miniature bull riding association. Since the start of the JBR this extreme sport is in five countries.
Years later and Donnie is still doing what he loves, being a cowboy clown/entertainer.
