Hydesville Elementary would like to congratulate one of our 8th graders, Dally Sue, on this amazing accomplishment! We are proud of you!
A local youth qualified to compete in the Vegas Tuffest Jr. World Championship this December.
Dally Sue Hunt of Hydesville will be one of over 1000 entries from multiple states including 3 provinces in Canada competing December 3-9 at the Mike and Sherrylynn Johnson Vegas Tuffest Jr. World Championship which is held the first weekend of the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“We held 53 qualifiers across the United States and Canada to give our rodeo youth an equal chance to make it to Vegas and the opportunity to win their share of over $1.75 million in cash & prizes,” said Sherrylynn Johnson, the event’s organizer and four time qualifier for the National Finals Rodeo.
Mrs. Johnson and her husband Mike Johnson, an ironman of rodeo who has qualified for the National Finals Rodeo a whopping 23 times, said the event offers barrel racing (including a 7 & Under Barrel Racing specialty event), double mugging, goat tying, breakaway roping, tie down roping and team roping.
“We have different age groups, 19 & Under, 15 & Under, 12 & Under and 10 & Under,” Johnson said. “Each Vegas Tuffest Jr. World Champion will take home $10-40K in cash. We’re the highest stakes payout in five events for youth in rodeo history.”
It is free to attend, starting each morning at 8:15am at The Expo @ World Market Center Las Vegas located at 435 S. Grand Central Parkway in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event will also be live webcasted at www.Johnsonsportline.com.
Mike also noted that the total payout, including a Dodge Ram dually truck, is expected to exceed $1.5 million in cash and awards this year. “Winners will take home electric Trek bikes, Crickets, saddles, rope cans, World Champion rings, and plenty of swag from our A-list group of sponsors.
