Darrell Diefenbach “A person can hope that if you put in dedication and enough hard work that hopefully it pays off someday. This really proves that. I just remember being a 17-year-old kid in Australia getting up every day and going to work. I had my list of goals in my bedroom at home and they were each small steps, one at a time. I had the goal to the make the NFR and I got that done at 27. Then my very last goal was to get put in the Hall of Fame.”

Tri-State Rodeo “For a city of just over 10,000, we draw a crowd from across the Midwest and the country for that matter. We are awfully proud of that. The volunteers, the sponsors and the community of Fort Madison are a huge asset to our rodeo every single year. We wouldn’t have this honor without them.” - Chuck Kempker, president of the Tri-State Rodeo Board of Directors
