National Little Britches Rodeo television series to start filming in Guthrie, Oklahoma starting July 2nd. The series airs on RFD-TV in more than 50 million homes.

 
PUEBLO, COLORADO -- Colorado-based Hodge Productions will begin filming the new
season of Little Britches Rodeo in Guthrie, Oklahoma on July 2, 2019. The series has aired on
RFD TV for a decade, and is produced by Hodge Productions in Pueblo, Colorado. RFD TV is
the premier rural lifestyle network and currently airs in over 50 million homes. Hodge
Productions' principal, Dustin Hodge, will lead on-site filming and will direct all post-production
from his Pueblo, Colorado studio.

The Little Britches Rodeo series features footage and stories from National Little Britches Rodeo
Association (NLBRA) — the oldest youth rodeo organization in the world. The show highlights
events from the National Finals Rodeo held in Guthrie, Oklahoma, July 2 -July 7. The NLBRA
was founded in 1952 and sanctions over 500 youth rodeos in 33 states. Contestants compete all
year long in order to earn points and qualify for the National Finals Rodeo. The series includes
stories from dozens of contestants, rodeo families, and event sponsors and will include highlight
reels from the arenas of 32 events.

“My crew looks forward to the NLBRA Finals all year long. There’s something magical about
watching a 5-year old learn to rope or following a contestant as she moves from Little Britches
into professional rodeoing. I’m proud of the partnership my team has built with the NLBRA
families, NLBRA Executive Director Annie Walter, and the organization’s Board of Directors,”
Producer Dustin Hodge explained.

In 2017, the United States Census Bureau reported that 60 million people, or one in five
Americans, live in rural America. “I believe that it is increasingly important that we capture and
tell stories about the rural lifestyle — that we collect and share stories of adversity and hope —
stories about family, faith, and small town America,” Hodge said.

According to Ginger Myers, Sponsorship and Marketing for NLBRA, the relationship with
Hodge Productions has provided a consistency and trust among contestants and across the
organization, and the production team’s long-term relationship with RFD TV provides a diverse
and broad viewership for the show and the show’s many sponsors. “The NLBRA partnered 10
years ago with RFD-TV to provide national coverage of the Finals Rodeo. Our sponsors know
that the show offers them an opportunity to get national recognition while supporting a stand-out
organization. Dustin Hodge and his commitment to the series has enriched many of these
relationships,” Myers said.
