Omaha, Neb. (April 20, 2019) – This rodeo season Barnes PRCA Rodeo continues to hire the very best specialty acts for the 60th American Heroes PRCA Rodeo in Hawley, Minn. Those acts feature Tricked Out Trick Riding by Dusta Lee Kimzey and Rodeo Clown Scot Allerdings.
Dusta Kimzey from Strong City, Okla. will perform under Tricked Out Trick Riding doing death defying gymnastics on horseback while racing at full speed around the rodeo arena.
Accompanying Kimzey are her trick riding horses and her sidekick Lickety Split. Lickety Split is a miniature horse that notability performs his own stunts separate from the trick riding.
Long time rodeo fans recognize the Kimzey surname as her father Ted Kimzey worked as a barrel man for many years. Her younger brother Sage Kimzey is the reigning 5x PRCA World Champion Bull Rider and her youngest brother Trey is competing in the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association too.
Scot Allerdings from Wyoming really is a class clown, teaching high school PE.
During his performances, Scot provides several means of high quality family entertainment. From his family friendly comedy to new exciting acts, Scot will keep the crowd entertained throughout the event. Scot loves to work with the youth and will do whatever he can to help promote the sport of rodeo, in a positive fashion.
Barnes PRCA Rodeo rigs will roll into Hawley, Minn. carrying top notch bucking horses and bulls for two rodeo performances Friday June 7 and Saturday June 8. Performances start at 7 p.m. with tickets at the gate $15 adult and $7 children. Military and veterans with ID tickets are just $10 for adults and $5 for their children.
