"I wish to go to the Rodeo Finals."
(Dusty, age 5)

Like any cowboy, Dusty has three favorite things to do: be outdoors, listen to country music, and ride horses. He absolutely loves going to the rodeo, which is why he wished to go to the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Finals this past December. With the help of the Southern Nevada Chapter, Dusty was able to make it to Las Vegas to experience the excitement and adventure of the rodeo finals!

Dusty and his family arrived at the Excalibur Hotel on December 12th and received tickets for the three nights of the PRCA Finals. During the day, they had time to explore the endless number of attractions in Las Vegas - like the Manhattan Express Roller Coaster, Mandalay Bay Shark Reef exhibit, and MGM Lion Habitat. The highlight of the trip was the backstage tour at the PRCA, where Dusty got to meet some of the competitors and see firsthand what a real bull is like! Dusty’s wish experience is one he won’t soon forget.
