For the first time since the 1950s, the Fourth of July Rodeo in Ennis will go on without Johnny France. The legendary cowboy and lawman passed away on April 20, leaving behind a priceless collection of “only in Madison County” stories.
“It’s bulls and blood It’s dust and mud It’s the roar of a Sunday crowd. It’s boots and chaps It’s cowboy hats It’s spurs and latigo It’s the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo.” - Garth Brooks
ENNIS—Brummie Boggus’s love for rodeo began the first time he ever watched a rider on a bronco.
“I’ve just always wanted to do it,” he says. “I always watched rodeos and knew that I wanted to do that too.”
