The Last RodeoIn Vegas that same 1985 NFR, roughstock sensation Lewis Field of Elk Ridge, Utah, handily won the world bareback riding title and his first of three world all-around championships. In 1998 NFR counted Ty Murray as a champion when he won an unprecedented seventh world all-around title. The same year Dan Mortenson claimed his fifth world saddle bronc riding title, short one of Tibbs record. Many rodeos have come and gone since then. Titles have been won and lost in less time than the 8-second buzzer. The excitement never dims at the National Finals Rodeo in Vegas, and the lights never go down even when the cowboys go home. Mark your calendars for 2000 National Finals Rodeo Dec. 1 through 10 in Las Vegas. This is a not-to-miss rodeo event of the year. Rodeo cowboys and cowgirls enter with their dreams of winning a world title, and spectator cowboys and cowgirls watch and wait to see the next winner ride off with the title and an even bigger purse than the last year. ~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~ For a list of 2000 NFR qualifiers, check out: http://www.prorodeo.com/nfr/2000/1.06.nf...
