Pony Express PRCA Rodeo & Derby- UTAH

We went on June 12th, Thurs night, 2025. Took a few first timers including my young children and a cousin who just moved to the US for university. Never seen a rodeo except in movies. They were all entertained the entire night, eyes glued. The announcer was so natural at informing us of what was going on, some background info on the rider, explaining rules, the witty banter with the clown was incredible chemistry, the patriotism and beautiful prayer he gave. I believe many hands worked very hard to put that rodeo on. But the announcer set it apart as one of the better rodeos I've attended. Then the cherry on top was the final epic reride of the last bull after the stands had half cleared out. Someone needs to make that moment into a movie script. The chocolate sauce drizzled over the cherry on top was the antics of rodeo clown. We just got back from strawberry days rodeo in pleasant grove (one week later) and my kids noticed a stark difference. Not nearly as much engagement with the crowd, much less explanation or even adlibbing. Whoever was DJing wasnt nearly as good as EM's DJ. Seemed the announcer was not as into it. So we are now forever fans of EM rodeo! It was the real deal
