We are incredibly proud to celebrate our Ag Teacher and FFA Sponsor, Teresa Walz, who was honored at this year’s 89th Kids Rodeo in La Junta. The event was dedicated to Teresa in recognition of her many years of dedication and service to the rodeo.
Teresa’s connection to the Kids Rodeo goes way back—she was a participant herself growing up! Over the years, she has supported the event in countless ways, from providing livestock and holding goats to running gates, announcing, and helping organize and run the rodeo.
Her passion for agriculture, youth, and our community is truly inspiring. ❤️💛
Congratulations, Teresa! We are proud to have you as a Meloneer! 🤠
Join us today at 4pm as the Rocky Ford Meloneers softball team faces off against the Southeast CO Angels!
