People That Make It Happen

On behalf of the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Posse, I’d like to welcome you all to the 65th annual Motherlode Roundup! This internationally acclaimed event is steeped in tradition, highlighting the ranching heritage of our beautiful Tuolumne County.

It is my humble honor to have been selected to serve as the Captain of the Sheriff’s Posse for the second time. My, how things have changed in the last 18 years! Once again, I’m proud of the men of the Sheriff’s Posse and their wives for the hard work and dedication they continue to show for this event.

I would like to give recognition to our sponsors, ALL of them. We couldn’t do this without you.

In closing, I would like to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there, especially my wife, Laura, (1979 MLRU Queen). You are an inspiration and you’re what makes this all worthwhile. Now, let’s enjoy this weekend with some PRO RODEO.

Let’ er Buck!
