CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR VERY OWN GRAND MARSHALS! 🥳🥳🥳

Diamond State Rodeo Association is incredibly proud to congratulate Sandy Bidwell, Past DSRA President, and Lisa Smith, Past DSRA Rodeo Director, on being named Grand Marshals of the 2026 Central Arkansas PRIDEFest Parade!

For more than 25 years, Sandy and Lisa have been an important part of the heart and history of our association. Their dedication, leadership, and unwavering support have helped shape DSRA into the organization it is today. Through countless rodeos, events, and years of service, they have continued to show what it truly means to support our community.

We are beyond honored to have had these two incredible women as part of our DSRA family for so many years, and we couldn’t be more excited to see them leading this year’s Pride Parade! Seeing their years of commitment and service recognized in such a meaningful way is something worth celebrating.

Sandy and Lisa, thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do for DSRA and the LGBTQ+ community. Your contributions have made a lasting impact, and we are so proud to see you receive this well-deserved recognition!

Join us Saturday, October 17, at the Central Arkansas PRIDEFest Parade as we celebrate Sandy, Lisa, and the incredible community they’ve helped build!

Congratulations, ladies! We’re proud to have you representing Diamond State Rodeo Association! ❤️🐎🌈
