Impact Report Rodeo Playdays: The Agents along with members of the Tumbleweed 4-H club hosted Rodeo Playday’s throughout the months of October- February. Rodeo has been a huge request from members in Socorro County, so our plan was to start out small to determine how much interest was really out there. Roughly 45 member per month participated in Barrels, Poles, Flags and Goat Tying. At the first one, very few members participated in the Goat tying event because they didn’t know how, so Deekota Chavez, Tumbleweed 4-H member gave a demonstration on goat tying to increase the participation in that event. This was a great event because it allowed the beginners a chance to compete without feeling intimidated. Youth showing an increase in cooperation, social skills, goal setting and self-motivation through their participation in these playdays. This was evident by their willingness to cheer each other on, teach each other what they know and having their times get better as the months went on.
