Jack J Wells, Western Artist and a character

Jack is quite the artist Jack J Wells was at the National Western Stock Show in Denver yesterday. I guess he has been there before and at the Oklahoma State Fair, All American Quarter Horse Show in Ohio, Houston Livestock Show, Calgary Stampede, and Cheyenne Frontier Days in Wyoming. I talked to him for a while. He is a big kid with a paintbrush and pencil. I asked him how he got started and he said " Well, when I was a kid I liked to doodle, most people stop and I just plain didn't" I "think" Jack is one of the best Western artists I have ever seen. He turns out beautiful pencil old western-themed pictures and watercolors. He makes his living doing this. Ranching and rodeoing were his family's business. Jack has competed and shown his artwork all over the country. In 1985, Wells had the honor of co-founding the Professional Rodeo, "Cowboy Artists Association, (PRCAA). Every member of this association is a current and active (or retired) member of a major professional rodeo organization, as well as a qualified professional artist. He has had more than one hundred pieces of art published as limited edition prints, magazine illustrations, posters, and program covers. From miniatures to murals, his works are shown and collected worldwide by museums, corporations, and thousands of individuals. And, quite frankly he turned out to be an inspiration to me. I do beautiful stained glass and have gotten discouraged because I cannot seem to sell it. Looking a Jack I realized that it's the fun and professional enjoyment of producing a quality and important art piece. There is something to be said after all in "Art for Art's Sake". And OH, did I mention? he also designs business cards.

Hadley Barrett, Rodeo Announcer

the 2002 PRCA Announcer of the Year. His back yard is all over the country. Hadley has been a rodeo announcer for a long time. He started riding in the rodeo but found it didn't agree with him. He used to run a band. He has spent a big share of his life entertaining people in one form or another. Coming from a meager, ranch-raised beginning, his first association with the rodeo was as a contestant. As a singer and guitar player, Hadley led his own dance band- Hadley Barrett and the Westerners- for 34 years. The band was very popular throughout the Midwest. His busy schedule in recent years has not allowed the band to continue, but the rodeo and ranching career has. In 1964, Hadley joined the PRCA, combining these talents to become one of the country's premier rodeo announcers, and radio and television personalities. When he was asked what the most important thing in rodeo is, Hadley's response was: "I believe that the rookie is as important as the champion- the animal is as important as the contestant- the clowns and specialty acts are as important as the announcer- but none of these would mean anything without the fan."
