Never too young to be clownin’ around in Central Kitsap

June 24th, 2010 at Thu, 24th, 2010 at 12:50 pm by wesleyremmer

Apparently some 12-year-olds get a kick out of dodging kicking livestock. Central Valley Road resident Wyatt Grahn does, anyway.

Grahn, who will become a teenager next month, is the featured clown for this weekend’s Thunderbird Pro Benefit Rodeo, returning to the Kitsap County Fairgrounds for the sixth year Friday through Sunday.

Little Grahn is quite the cowboy, a youngster who enjoys the comedy skits and implied risk of  being a rodeo clown. He comes from a rodeo family, with both his father and older sister having participated in rodeo events. Raymond, his father, was a clown for a brief time before becoming a firefighter.

Lot’s of cool angles on this story, which you can read here.

And here are some photos I took at his family’s ranch home Wednesday:
