The Round-Up’s Westward Ho! Parade will be led by five men who represent families with 100 years of involvement with the rodeo.

Round-Up Director Dennis Hunt, Mark Herburger and Round-Up Director Bill Quesenberry.
Mark has been a Round-Up volunteer for 15 years. He is the man behind the scenes. You don’t have to ask him to do anything, he’s already fixed broken boards and repainted them, changed light bulbs or fixtures that have burned out, cleaned stalls and on a daily routine cleans the cowboy’s room.
