๐ A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU โ MICHAEL & SHANNON DAVIS ๐
Some people donโt wait to be asked to help โ they simply step forward and ask, โWhat can we do?โ
Long before the gates opened for the 2026 Beauty and the Beast Rough Stock Rodeo, Officer Michael Davis and his beautiful wife, Shannon, offered their time and their help to Cody and me.
When rodeo day arrived, they didnโt just show up โ they jumped in wherever they were needed and helped us keep things moving.
Michael spent his time visiting with spectators, helping at the gates, applying wristbands and being another dependable set of hands in the middle of a very busy day.
Shannon took on our VIP ticket line, helped get our guests checked in and wristbanded, and when something unexpected was thrown her way or something needed to be picked up, handled, scheduled or figured out โ she made it happen. No fuss. No hesitation. She simply helped us get it done and kept things running smoothly.
That kind of help means more than people realize.
And we think our community should know a little more about the man who volunteered his time to help our rodeo.
Sergeant Michael Davis has dedicated 18 years to law enforcement, including 14 years serving Churchill County. His career has included detention, patrol, narcotics enforcement, gang investigations, training and supervision. He was recognized as Deputy of the Year in 2019, became an active-shooter response instructor in 2020 and was promoted to Patrol Sergeant in 2022.
Today, he continues serving our community and is a candidate for County Sheriff.
But on August 15, to us, he was simply Mike โ standing at our gate, talking with our spectators, putting on wristbands and asking what else needed to be done.
And right beside him was Shannon doing exactly the same.
Cody, Kristina and Stetson want to give Michael and Shannon Davis a HUGE and heartfelt THANK YOU. โค๏ธ
Thank you for taking time away from your own busy lives and family to volunteer for something that means so incredibly much to ours. Thank you for offering before we ever had to ask. Thank you for seeing what needed to be done and doing it. And most of all, thank you for being the kind of people who show up for your community and your friends.
Our rodeos are not possible because of one or two people. They happen because of people like Michael and Shannon Davis who willingly step in, roll up their sleeves and become part of the team.
We appreciate you both more than you know.
From our family to yours โ THANK YOU for being part of the 2026 DeGolyerโs Beauty and the Beast Rough Stock Rodeo. ๐บ๐ธ๐ดโค๏ธ
Where Grit Meets Grace.
Michael Good Luck in your upcoming election ๐๐
