Tayton Sears could not have asked for a better gift for his 12th Birthday: A trip to Las Vegas to attend the Wrangler Finals Rodeo. Thanks to daily autograph sessions, he was able to meet his idols up close thanks to these.
Sears stated, “When my dad informed me that we were going to NFR, I was like, “Oh my god, I want to meet all these guys.”
Sears had to wait in a long line, but he was able to meet all Wrangler NFR bull riders at an autograph session held Thursday at Gilley’s on Treasure Island. Sears reached the front of his line and signed with Stetson Wright, his favorite rider.
Wright wrote a birthday message for Sears featuring NFR bull riders. Wright also signed a Wrangler NFR shirt from Sears. The fan-friendly Wright — we are kidding, all these guys can be fan-friendly — was also mugged for a photo with Sears.
“I was nervous. But I’m fine now. It’s quite exciting. It’s way better than I expected,” Sears stated.
