LINCOLN — Five year old cowboy, Ethan Pitts, has had a busy year. As he helps his Dad around the house, he can be heard proudly proclaiming, “I’m a workin man.” He is often seen driving his truck and trailer around the yard. This consists of his bike and nearly anything that he can tie to the back of it. As hard as he works, his finest skill is being a wonderful brother to his three sisters.

Little Ethan isn’t all business though. In his spare time he can be found chasing chickens with his Gramps or riding his pony Duncan. Every night, after saying his prayers and kissing his mom, he lays down to dream about the local parades and rodeos that he has enjoyed over the past year, including the 2014 Rodeo of the Ozarks.

Ethan would like to thank everyone for the experiences he has enjoyed over the past year. The time has come, however, for this junior cowboy to hang up his hat, and help usher in a new Little Mister Lincoln Riding Club as he looks forward to his first day of school in the fall.
