Sergene Andra on the front of the Preston Night Rodeo program for 1949 with Trigger Jr.

My Uncle Larry Andra provided these two photos as part of a group of photos.  I hadn’t seen these photos before.  I thought they were interesting enough I would provide them separately.

The first is the front of the 1949 program for “That Famous Preston Night Rodeo.”  The photo has Aunt Sergene along with Roy Rogers’ Trigger Jr.  There is quite a bit of history on the That Famous Preston Night Rodeo, but there is much more history available on the internet of Roy Rogers and Trigger Jr.

This second picture is of Sergene as the Rodeo Queen and stands in the middle between her 1st and 2nd Runner Up.  The horse was owned by Mr. Peterson who lived on the corner of 1200 East and Oneida in Preston.  Sergene ran on a whim and won.  I do not know which year, I assume this is at Preston.
