Trick Roping with the Dolphins

Lewis Events roping calf on Catalina Island dock.

A gorgeous fall day on the docks at Newport Harbor in Southern California. The trick ropes, microphones, cables, hats, boots, roping calf . . . . and wetsuits were loaded onto the boat. Next, we hopped aboard, sailed past the Balboa Pavillion, out of the harbor past the jetty, and were off to Avalon Bay on Catalina Island. Along the way, dolphins and seagulls accompanied us on our 26-mile journey. The dolphins seemed like they just wanted to have fun as they jumped in and out of the ship’s wake. After docking in Avalon, we boarded a speedboat that quickly whisked us to a private cove on the island. There is no road to our destination cove, so the people, food, supplies, and equipment could only be transported to the location by boat. Remote indeed!

We arrived at a beautiful, secluded cove, rolled up our sleeves, and got to work. The sound system was set up and tested followed by our tent and sleeping bags. Yes, our location was so remote, that we stayed in a tent right on the beach . . . . about ten feet from the water.

Lewis Event’s assignment was to provide a weekend of entertainment for the members and guests of a private organization, including trick roping, virtual calf roping, DJ and MC, and line dancing.

The tables are set and both Christy and Jay warm up before the guests arrive.

The guests did arrive and after a mouth-watering Western meal, they danced and roped for hours. Traditional and contemporary Western favorites were played along with some pop tunes to mix things up a bit. We entertained guests for two evening events and provided atmosphere entertainment during the daylight hours.

The beachfront event location was spectacular and the guests were a ton of fun. Our weekend soon came to an end, the bags and equipment were loaded and we made the journey back to the mainland.
