McKENZIE (October 26) — McKenzie High School Class of 2025 Project Graduation hosted a bullriding fundraiser event Saturday, presented by Crazy J Bucking Bulls on the property of Kenny and Tammy Trevathan. A total of $4,475 was raised for Project Graduation.
The event featured 15 riders competing in the rodeo. The winner of the prize money and belt buckle was Matthew Hoffman of Paris.
There were several side events and activities in the arena for kids, including stick horse races, chicken chases and mutton-busting (rodeo, but with sheep).
There were various food and drink vendors, an inflatable and other activities on the large event site.
The night began with the seniors in attendance forming a circle in the arena, and senior Gage Crosland circled them on horseback while flying the McKenzie Rebel flag.
The National Anthem was played as five-year-old Harley Trevathan circled the arena on a pony with the American flag.
