Ben E. Keith's Company-Wide ROADEO

A couple months ago, Dave & I went over to Ft. Worth to be a part of a truck ROADEO (where various sizes of trucks have to drive through an obstacle course and are scored). While we attended the Dallas-Ft. Worth location, ROADEOs were also going on at the company's locations in San Antonio, Little Rock, AR, Amarillo, TX, and Albuquerque, NM. The top two performers in each category, from each location, then are invited to participate in the company-wide ROADEO. This year, that was held here in the Metroplex.

The weather stayed pretty decent - mid-90's with wind. Bleachers had also been set up which were under big tents, so that helped too.





This guy was hired to just make things out of balloons - hats, animals, objects, etc.



Here's the hat he made for me.



I couldn't resist getting a picture of Dave when he put it on.



This is called a "pup" trailer because it's only 28' long.



"Semi" trailers are 41' long.
