Jim Lee, announcer, is the voice you hear at Flying L Rodeo Arena. He is the son of Chris & the late Roy Lee .
The first rodeo held on "top of the hill" in the Flying L Arena was held in 1958. Jim remembers it fondly, he recalls, "Being together as a family, I guess more than anything was the best part of it." Sadly, in 1992, Jim's father passed away but his memory is still alive and well 19 years later. Roy Lee's legacy lives on through this hard-working rodeo family with Jim's mom (Chris), brother, sisters, and children carrying on Roy's Dream.
From April to October every Saturday night. the ranch transfers to a scene out of the wild west. Bull Riding, Barrel Racing, Goat Tying, Roping, and other events, you'll see little children to adults in competition. Jim knows where he'll be each Saturday night, along with other family members.
Jim says it maybe hard work but he never gets tired of it, it's his life, a tradition he knows the Lee children will carry on.
Jim feels his dad would be happy with the way they have carried on the Lee family tradition. He stated, "I'm proud of it, you know, you see four generations of kids together, I'm proud of that."
Magic 105 Bull was owned by Roy Lee and later sold to Sammie Andrews (stock contractor in the PRCA). Magic 105 bucked several times at the NFR. Roy sure was proud of that bull.
