My latest article with accompanying photography has just been published. It is about the award winning and record breaking 2022 Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo celebrating their 35th year as a professional PRCA rodeo. The story and photos are separate from the big photo spread that has also been published! Click on the link or the image to go to the story and photos.

I made an earlier post about Honnibrook Craft Meadery in Castle Rock, CO making “award winning” meads. In this day and age of hyperbole over substance, I thought it might be best to show one of their awards in a separate post.

Honnibrook Craft Meadery co-owners Michael Fagan (left) and DJ Kurtz (right) stand proud behind their “Commercial Wine 2021 Best of Show” award earned at the 2021 Colorado State Fair. The duo’s Peach Habenero mead beat out wineries and wines from all over the state of Colorado to pick up the big win.

Kurtz and Fagan are a pair of great guys who love making mead. You can taste that passion in everything they produce. I believe the 2021 Colorado State Fair wine competition judges tasted it, as well.

I am looking forward to writing an article in the near future about Fagan and Kurtz and their use of Colorado honey to create their mead. I am just getting some additional interviews and taking a few more photos!

All I Mead is You!

Pun-tastic headline aside, I learned a ton about mead this weekend as I spent time with the co-owners (Michael Fagan and DJ Kurtz) of a Colorado craft meadery in the town of Castle Rock who are making a name for themselves and their fast growing business: Honnibrook Craft Meadery.

Right now, I am in the beginning stages of putting together a magazine article about Honnibrook and its use of Colorado sourced honey to create their award winning meads. Kurtz and Fagan approach making their mead differently than most producers (i.e., 6.2% alcohol vs 10+% of most meads) and their techniques are also different. Their unique craft brewer approach is paying off with awards and surprising (in a good way) growth.

DJ Kurtz and Michael Fagan, co-owners of Honnibrook Craft Meadery, stand amid the equipment used to create a new batch of mead in their craft meadery located in Castle Rock, CO. Fagan (right) is next to a 55-gallon drum of Colorado-sourced honey that is being pumped and mixed with water and other ingredients to send to the fermentation tanks in order to create their award winning mead.

Fagan and Kurtz are two really nice guys who are incredibly passionate and enthusiastic about what they are doing and it shows in their product. They refuse to let anything get to the consumer that does not meet their own high approval standards for their mead. It was a lot of fun to interview them and take some photos while they were creating a new batch. I look forward to putting the article together.

Mini Bulls!

I had the opportunity (and good fortune) to be able to talk with a couple of great Colorado guys who have started a Mini Bull contracting operation. Best friends Duncan Cornell and Cory Hazen are good family men and Christian guys who used to bull ride and now own Bijou Buckers Mini Bulls out of Simla, CO.

My article and accompanying photography were published in The Fence Post magazine and the article is also on The Fence Post magazine’s website — https://www.thefencepost.com/news/eeny-meeny-mighty-minis/

Cory Hazen (far left) and Duncan Cornell (far right) head out on horseback with several of their children to gather their herd of Mini Bulls in order to get them ready for a September 2021 Mini Bull event in Colorado Springs the next day.

I enjoyed meeting them and talking with them while they were on the job and with their families.

Procrastination Over…

At least most of it!

Over 15 years ago, I put in a lot of work and hours into custom building my own website. Over the years, more hours were spent trying to keep it updated. But then it started to feel… dated.

But I procrastinated in redesigning my website because I knew it would take many more hours to get it set up the way I wanted. And I procrastinated. AND procrastinated!

Well… procrastination over. I finally bit the bullet, so to speak, and did a redesign and rebuild of my www.lincolnrogers.com website. It still needs some tweaking and a LOT more photography needs to be added — I am planning on setting up a number of galleries of my past work — but the redesign makes it more current and much more simplified.

Give it a visit, would you? I would love to have you drop by.

You know – I am thankful.  It might sound trite, old fashioned, passe’, smarmy or… whatever.

I don’t care.  I’m still thankful.  I thank God for the many blessings in my life.  I have the blessings of a home, a loving wife, family members that care, a few incredible friends, food on the table and the ability and opportunity to create art and write for a living.

How can I NOT be thankful?

Have a great Thanksgiving holiday and don’t let your horse come home without ya!
