As the Clinton May Ball Rodeo & Dance weekend gets closer, we’re closing out our week of rodeo memories with one more photo from rodeo days in Clinton.

WPCIB is proud to be the title sponsor of this year’s rodeo as it marks its 75th year. This is a meaningful role for the Pelltíq’t People, “People of the White Earth Place,” whose families have been connected to horses, ranching, gathering, and life in the Clinton area for generations.

This photo appears to show wagon racing at the Clinton Rodeo, capturing the speed, teamwork, timing, and horsemanship that have long been part of rodeo life.

Kukwstép-kuc to everyone who shared photos and helped carry these memories forward. If this photo brings back a name, a story, or a memory, please share it in the comments.

These photos speak to that presence through horses, bulls, ranching, rodeo days, and the people who helped shape local life. They include Stephanie LeBourdais, Joe LeBourdais, Duke LeBourdais, Ed LeBourdais, and other community members.

This is the first of a few posts we’ll be sharing. If you recognize someone, remember these rodeo days, or have a memory connected to the photos, please share in the comments.
