Treadway is more than just a Rodeo
Company By Kim Watkins
Pam Treadway of the Treadway Rodeo Company says, "I'm passionate
about the belief that people want entertainment along with the good
bucking stock."A rodeo company is no longer just bringing in the
bucking stock. Like the Treadway Rodeo Company, a combination of
outstanding production, stock, and cowboys, which will come when
everything falls into place, makes an exciting rodeo. Ken and Pam
Treadway have become the largest stock contractor east of the
Mississippi.
Rodeos can no longer ride on the fascination audiences have with
cowboys. Like everything else, people come to expect more. It was
centuries ago when rodeo was paired with wild west shows. The
International Finals Rodeo 32 was especially moving with this year's
five-performance patriotic theme. |
Focus - that's what it takes to
produce a grand entry for the 21st Century rodeo. |
Treadway
Rodeo Company has put the grand back into grand entry and the show back
into rodeo. As the International Professional Rodeo Association Producer of
the Year two years in a row, Ken and Pam have set
the stage for rodeo's Wild West style. Ken spends his days and a lot of nights
searching for the perfect bucking bull or bronc. Exemplified with Cherokee
Maid, the 2001 IPRA Bucking Horse of the Year, Ken
lives up to his reputation of a "type A" workaholic. Pam says,
"He would get up in the middle of the night to look at a horse or a bull
if someone told him it was a good one." Ken and
Pam complete the full picture of a rodeo company. Providing the rodeo with
superb stock and producing an exciting and moving program for the spectator.
The
International Finals Rodeo 32 opened its gates to a symbolic theatrical
tribute to the heroes of the United States of America, including military
branches, firefighters, and police officers with special
tributes to our flag. A huge choreographed undertaking, Pam makes all the
costumes, chooses the music, plans lighting and even the fog and smoke. The
opening ceremonies come together like a Broadway
play. Pam explains, "We couldn't do it all without our crew, the Good
Lord, and our good help makes it all happen." She forgot to mention long
nights and little sleep.

Pam
said she knew she wanted to have a patriotic theme for the IFR 32
opening ceremonies.
"I
didn't want anything heavy or dramatic. I want everyone to have that
great American feeling -
a
celebration of America." She accomplished it - every heart in the
Oklahoma State Fairgrounds
arena
was moved - people talked about each opening throughout the evening's
performances. |
Ken's
eternal search for the perfect bucking bull or bronc and Pam's passion and
creativity make the Treadway Rodeo Company synonymous with performance grand
style.
