Like Wyoming author of the 'Longmire' series Craig Johnson and one of the show's actors Lou Diamond Phillips, who was inducted into the Western Heritage Awards Hall of Great Western Performers.
Rislov and Pullen's 'Rowdy Randy' is described as
the toughest cowgirl around
Even though Rowdy Randy is a horsefly
She acts taller than any tall tale. She might be easy to overlook, but Rowdy Randy definitely can't be ignored. She spends her days buzzing and biting all the creatures in her path, all the while stirring up a whole heap of trouble.
If you're lucky, you may see 'Rowdy Randy' buzzing around making special appearances, especially at book stores, schools and anywhere there may be trouble brewing.
Congratulations Casey and Zachary. Keeping entertaining and teaching kids all while churning out good, clean, quality fun for the entire family.
