BENEFIT ROPING FOR RAY SMITH
Earlier this year Ray Smith, 2008 ORA Pickup Man of the Year and ORA Life Member was injured in a horse accident in New York. As his therapy continues, at a significant price, the Rodeo and Roping Community hosted a Benefit Roping for one of their own.

The day started off with Steer Wrestling, won by Tim Kemp, followed by Rodney Weese and Jacob DeWetering. Tim got 2 steers down with a total time of 9.5 seconds.
Breakaway roping followed with Amanda Orr winning the average with 8.8 on 2 calves. Kacie Kapp from Michigan was second and Rob Erwin finished third. Brent McMullen won the calcutta.
Team Roping had 125 teams and was a pick/draw roping, 3 head progressive and Wildcolt Ranch owner, Chris Murphy and John Scully were the champions. Pat Mulligan and Anne Stroud were the calcutta winners. Second place went to Jennifer Scott and Tim Wetlaufer, third was John Scully and Mark Coulson, fourth was Jeremy McCulligh, and fifth was George Hennings and Steve Zalvin.
A total of $5,100 was raised from the calcuttas, silent auction, stock charge and it was great to see the roping/rodeo community band together for this event. Karyn Foster organized the event and would like to thank Chris Murphy for his top notch facility and time; Dawn Civiero for the added money; Lorie Luxton and Cheryl Dunk for entries; Laurie Donaldson and Evelyn Sullivan for timing; Bruce Murray for announcing; Pat Mulligan for the auctioneering; everyone who donated items for the Silent Auction and everyone that came out and donated and had fun to help a fellow cowboy.

Jake loved his rodeo family and appreciated the support and encouragement he always received. We are lucky that in his short life he lived so fully. Jake's determination and courage in life came from within, but was constantly bolstered by the people who surrounded him. Thank you to all of you.
