It started with a pancake breakfast, and then, an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the Reno Rodeo. Washoe County foster kids and their families had VIP access to the Reno Rodeo, a chance to watch team roping, and learn about life as a cowboy. Foster parents say, this free day of rodeo fun was a great opportunity for these kids, who otherwise might not be able to come to the rodeo.

This special all access tour was provided by the Reno Rodeo Foundation. BJ's BBQ also provided each child with a free BBQ dinner coupon and carnival ride ticket.
