The Statesboro Kiwanis Rodeo will arrive in mid-April, providing two nights of bulls, broncs and family entertainment.Hedrick Rodeo Company, which has conducted the rodeo in Statesboro for the past three years, was recently recognized by the Southern Professional Rodeo Association, said Statesboro Kiwanis Club member and rodeo co-chairman Bill Anderson.Danny Hedrick, owner of the company, said his crew was named the 2014 SPRA Stock Contractor of the Year. A gray draft horse cross gelding, “Willie,” easily recognized as one of the company’s largest horses, won the title of 2014 SPRA Saddle Bronc of the Year, and Hedrick’s wife, Jessica, was named the 2014 SPRA Contract Act of the Year for her daredevil trick riding performances. She has a repertoire that includes riding three horses at a time, standing on their backs and controlling them all from that position, while the horses lope around the arena and jump through fiery rings.Hedrick was humble while discussing the awards, but Anderson and rodeo co-chairman Don Poe agree that the club’s choice in selecting Hedrick Rodeo Company was the right one.“We had reasons for selecting Danny,” Anderson said.
