Justin Rumford – Rodeo Clown
The clown for the 2013 Kansas’ Biggest Rodeo is no stranger to Phillipsburg.
Justin Rumford has been coming to Phillipsburg since he was in eighth grade, always rodeo related.
He competed in high school rodeo there, winning the saddle bronc riding title three consecutive years in the late 1990’s. Then he competed there as a steer wrestler, before being a truck driver and help for Beutler and Son Rodeo.
Now he returns as rodeo clown and funnyman.
Justin, the 2012 PRCA Clown of the Year, is naturally funny and quick witted. He’s always looking for new and current material. “I watch funny movies and try to keep up with what’s going on (in pop culture),” he said. “I try to make my acts like skits: short, fun and funny, not complicated.”
The Ponca City, Okla. clown will bring a variety of acts to town, including his Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter, Motorcycle Act, and Basketball Act.
No matter what he does, he’s having fun. “I have a great time, no matter what’s going on. I just keep a good attitude and have a ball, and it’s contagious.”

NASHVILLE (AP) – A George Jones gospel record will come out in time for his birthday. Jones would have been 82 on September 12, and two days before that, the album “Amazing Grace” will be released. Most of the songs were recorded in 2002 with producer Billy Sherrill. Jones talked Sherrill into coming out of retirement to record with him. One song, “Great Judgment Morning,” was recorded in 1994 with Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, Travis Tritt, Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stuart and Connie Smith. Jones had planned to release “Amazing Grace” before he died.
