To the CPRA Contestants, Officials, and all the Crew;

On behalf of the Madison County Fair Association Rodeo Committee and myself I want to thank you all for coming to Madisonville and putting on the best rodeo of our eight year history. The crowd loved the show and the level of competition was outstanding. Your professionalism and courtesy to the fans and each other were great. We are proud to host a rodeo that can draw the level of contestants we did. Hat Brand Rodeo produced an excellent rodeo and their crew worked extremely hard to make the performances and slack flow smoothly. We hope that you will return for our next rodeo. If you have something you think we need to improve please let me know, we are always looking for help and suggestions. Your participation helps our association provide facilities and opportunities for the youth of our community to succeed. Thanks again and travel safe.

Bubba Norman, for the Rodeo Committee.
