All the pictures are unedited but will be delivered cropped, straightened, edited, in high resolution when purchased. If you don't see your pictures, I probably got a video of your run and I'll post those after work today.
It was great to see so many come out. We had over 100 runners. And shout out to all the kids that showed up to help set barrels.

This past Sunday was Triston’s Legend of the Cowboy Foundation annual birthday bash. This was my 3rd year attending and shooting the event. Like the past couple years, there were some great performers, they had a ton of raffle items, silent auction items and live auctions.

The difference between this year and the last two years was the generosity of this year's crowd. It was awesome to see a signed guitar go for over $3K and it was donated back to raffle again. It was raffle off again and again, 3 or 4 times.

This Foundation does so much to help rodeo kids, FFA kids, rodeo royalty, they help special needs kids and veterans with equine therapy, and so much more.

Be sure to check out their website, read the story about a tragedy that inspired a mom and her friends to keep her son's legacy going, helping others and inspiring so many to get involved.

I'm so glad I was introduced to this group a few years ago and I'm already looking forward to next year's event and all the other events between now and then.

Here's a link to the free gallery of pictures. If you see someone you know, tag them in this post.
