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.

Lent has just ended and if you observed it in any way, strictly or somewhere in the middle, you probably felt it. That slow shift in how you cook, what you reach for, and how often you stand in the kitchen wondering what else there is besides peanut butter and pimento cheese. But there is something about going through a season like that that resets your perspective.
You come out the other side appreciating things you did not think twice about before, and sometimes you discover a few new ones along the way.
As a kid, the frozen seafood we ate came in a rectangular box and answered to the name fish sticks.
They were breaded within an inch of their life, cooked until vaguely crisp, and served with enough ketchup to make you forget what you were eating.
They were not great. They were fine, which for a long time was about the best you could say for most frozen fish. And that stuck with me.
