Family Talent & Fast Times at Oregon Trail Rodeo | Lincoln News

Samantha Fulton stunned the crowd with a blistering 2.1-second breakaway roping run to claim top honors at the Oregon Trail Rodeo, leveraging her savvy and a calf that’d already run twice that day — all while showcasing family legacy, as her sister also placed third. Bobbi Olson captured barrel racing glory in 17.26 seconds aboard her rising star, six-year-old palomino Yellowjacket, who’s still adjusting to the rodeo roar but improving fast — with heartfelt thanks to the ground crew and her supportive family, including her husband and two young daughters, who make the circuit life work. Beyond the main events, champions shone across bareback, tie-down, saddle bronc, steer wrestling, team roping, and bull riding — plus a new Miss Oregon Trail Rodeo queen and princess crowned, and a “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” night raised over $2,000 for local cancer care. The 35th annual event paid out nearly $80,000 — proof of grit, heart, and community spirit on full display. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
