Each year we watch all 10 rounds of the National Finals Rodeo. It is especially exciting when a local cowboy is competing. Wade Sundell is the son of our electrician right here in Boxholm. To make the NFR is outstanding and an amazing accomplishment. There have been just a slight few from Iowa to have ever made the finals. It is the Super bowl of rodeo and the best of the best. Last year I had the opportunity to see Wade compete in his first NFR when I went out with Mom and Allie. This year we watched from our TV. Tonight we watched as a blizzard was taking place outside our home. Round 10, Wade was so close to winning. He ended up 10th and rode all 10 of his horses and is fun to watch. He ended up second in the world for Saddle bronc riding. He won $122,000 just during the finals alone. I cannot imagine the feeling of excitement and pride. It would be every rodeo cowboy/cowgirls dream!!
