Those who pursue rodeo life say “it gets in your blood”. Perhaps that has never been more true than in the case of Quinton Boeser. You see, Quinton’s parents - Roni and Chancey Boeser - met while both were competing in rodeo for Pratt Community College in Kansas. So rodeo is literally in Quinton’s blood…and just like his parents, he loves it.

Summer is flying by, and it can be so easy to become consumed by busy schedules, deadlines, and the constant responsibilities competing for our attention that we miss the opportunities to enjoy the “good life.” Summer in Nebraska offers many opportunities to step back and reconnect with the people and traditions that matter most. Some of my favorite memories as both a kid and a parent involved 4-H, and with county fairs well underway, I am reminded of those values.

It’s county fair time! While that may invoke different memories for each of us, the nostalgia of the fair is likely very similar. I was not a farm kid, nor was I ever involved in 4-H.
