Saddle Up For The Stick Horse Stampede!

Dillon, MT — Dust off your boots, wrangle your stick horse, and get ready for a rootin’-tootin’ good time! The Tweedy Mountain Fun Club—a group I help run with Tara and our friends Derek & Katrina Lewis, and Klaire Kramer—is bringing the fun back to fundraising with the first-ever Stick Horse Stampede, a family-friendly event taking place on Friday, June 13th at 5 PM at Jaycee Park.

This isn’t your average rodeo—it’s a wild celebration full of laughter, community spirit, and downright silly competitions. The event is free to enter, open to all ages, and jam-packed with entertainment, food, and flair.

Leading the charge is none other than Beaverhead County Attorney Sky Jones, who is serving as both event spokesperson and Vice Chair of the Early Childhood Coalition of Beaverhead County (ECCBC). A founding member of the Tweedy Mountain Fun Club, Sky is joined by fellow fun-bringers Tara Jones, Katrina Lewis, Derek Lewis, and Klaire Kramer—local champions who believe that fundraising should always come with a big dose of fun.

“This is the kind of event that brings the whole town together—kids, parents, neighbors—everyone can come out, have a blast, and support something that matters,” said Jones. “We’re raising money for ECCBC, and doing it with a whole lot of laughter.”

Special guest Sophia Wyatt, Miss Dillon Jaycee Rodeo Queen, will be emceeing the always-hilarious Rodeo Queen Competition, one of the night’s featured events. Come cheer on your neighbors (and maybe compete yourself!) in a series of rodeo-themed challenges including bronc riding, barrel racing, rescue races, and more—stick horses provided or BYO!
