The event was also an opportunity to pay tribute to Robert Salway, Patrick Salway, and Ross Rixon who lost their lives during the Black Summer bushfires.

It was an emotional moment for all in attendance when Warren made tribute to his family members.

He acknowledged the huge amount of work put into the arena, particularly by Patrick who did a lot of the welding on the steel fencing and put a lot of effort into getting the rodeo up and going.

"Patrick was at the last rodeo in 2019 and he got thrown over the chutes and broke his arm," said Warren.

Warren said that a plaque would be erected at the last gate Patrick used in memory of him and his huge contribution in the organisation of the rodeo.

Other committee members who had passed away in the last two years were also acknowledged, including Kevin Allen, Jim Salway, Wilma Boreham, Richard Cooke, Barry Hargraves, and Jean White.
