If you ever had the privilege of knowing Ray Forcier, you’d know just how awesome a man he was and how humbled he would be to have a rodeo named after him. It's in Ray's honor that the Willie Waggoner Rodeo Arena in Benton will once again host an awesome rodeo event this weekend.
This year’s Springhill Rodeo Parade Grand Marshal will be Dilton Emerson. Many of you may know Mr. Emerson as a farrier and owner of Emerson Horseshoe Supply Company in Bossier City. Mr. Emerson competed in Springhill’s first rodeo! He is a PRCA Gold Card Holder and sits on the Board of Directors for the Cowboy Hall of Fame.
