It was rather of jobs lust Allong As it permits them to stick with the younger cowboys who Are the current heroes of the Day. One such fellow finds it impossible to quit the sport is Bob Chambers of Pendleton Oregon. Bob is a Rodeo announcer who has been at Swan River the past five years and is one of the Best in the business. Chambers has developed nerve wracking talking to those empty As far As announcing is concerned Chambers feels the Rodeo at Swan River is one of the Best on the continent. Here you have Friendly people who Are out to be entertained and Are anxious to respond at every running commentary that is very pleasant to listen to and occasion. Back Home in the . There is so much Competition for the entertainment Dollar a that most people go to a show certainly adds a great Deal to the events As they Roll along. If a tie up develops for any reason he is always ready to fill in and keep the crowd entertained Emtil everything is in order. It was not always so. Bob was born in Rodeo country and Ever i Booth each Day since he remembers he wanted to be a Cowboy taking part in Competition. At 16 and without his Parent s consent he went to a Rodeo in a nearby town and could t resist the temptation to enter the Brahma Bull Riding event. I will always remember that Bob recalls i am Lucky enough to win the event and i got for my Effort. It was the most important prize i have Ever won in my the win Bob remembers of any kind and almost defy you to make them laugh cheer or show some emotion. He feels Swan River is one of the most hospitable towns to be found anywhere. If i Ever accepted the social invitations i get every year i would never make it to the announcer s completely hooked him into rodeos and for the next 14 years he competed As a Cowboy on the Rodeo circuit through the West Ern 1t.s. And Canada. His career came to an end one Day in British Columbia when a bucking bronc threw him and then body. He was rolled Over his in Hospital for several months and when he decided that was having been a Rodeo Cowboy and now travelling with the present crop of Young men i Chambers feels these Fellows j have the most heart of any j athlete in the world. These Guys Are often out there Riding or roping when every Bone in their body hurts so much they have to grit their Teeth and hang one reason the cowboys work under such handicaps is the necessity to make a living. They Are not like the professional hockey or baseball player who still draws his wages despite having to sit on the Bench because of an injury. The Rodeo Cowboy Only makes Money when he works. And on top of that he must win or place Well up the competitions to take Home any prize Money. I really feel for these Chambers said. They came out enough. Returning to his Home he a started to work in a shop where custom saddles Are made and j t ,1u soon Learned the Trade. This is j ardent Follower of the Rodeo but his enthusiasm is also shared by his wife Phyllis. After Bob Are real professionals always willing to help each other and always out there giving their 1s a where he now spends the off season. However the off season is getting Shorter and Shorter As Chambers now handles two decided to quit being a Rodeo j Cowboy i knew his heart was still in the business so when he i him to Many and across Western Canada. Bob shudders when he thinks of his first Job As an announcer. After retiring from Active com petition he noticed an advertisement in a newspaper seeking announcer for a Rodeo in a neighbouring town. I applied for the Job never thinking i would get he remembers and when i got a Telephone Call saying my application had been accepted i almost fainted however he did the Job and although he was so nervous Bis voice quivered at times he got the Roth the ordeal and this new career. Bali has had Many experiences since that time. One time he was oui. On the West coast of California to do a Rodeo and when it Wes time to Start the events the first Day there was not one person in the encouraged him to do she said i it is a Little difficult doing so much travelling but my loves this life i am All for husband naturally the Chambers have three children with two in College and one at Home.
