Results released from Lancaster benefit rodeo
Results have been released from the benefit rodeo in honor of Dane Lancaster, the 11-year-old roper who’s currently recovering from injuries suffered in May, which took place Saturday in rural Montague.
Rodeo organizers have reported a generous five-figure sum was raised from activities, which also included live and silent auctions inside the Montague County Cowboy Church.
Lancaster attended the rodeo, and took a lap from inside a cart with his family.
There was a special guest appearance from Texas Tech’s Masked Raider, who was Mackenzie White.
Lancaster received a special hat signed by all 12 finalists in the calf roping competition at the Cheyenne (Wy.) Frontier Days.
All contestants in the youth rodeo signed a rope can, and Lancaster also received a circa 2002 Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo poster.
Lancaster, a resident of rural Bowie, was born in 2002, the son of Diran and Kellie Lancaster.
The auction contained items such as tickets to a Texas Rangers baseball game, Leddy Boots, a handmade pair of boots from the Fenoglio Boot Company in Nocona, two tickets to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and a Trevor Brazile all-around saddle. Brazile donated three items in all.
Winners received buckles.

There is a new flower showing up at garden centers that is pure magic, in fact its official name is Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit. If you aren’t familiar with the name, it is a calibrachoa, a petunia relative. Double gives reference to flowers that in this case look like miniature roses.
Magic is your key descriptor telling you that the flower changes colors. The flowers start off a pleasant lemon yellow and then age to a rose pink.
Of course, to get to rose pink you have various shades along the way. Another magical aspect to me, the guru of captivating combinations is that it seems no matter the color you choose it will go with Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit calibrachoa.
