The family of Makenna Elrod Seiler came together for a roping competition and scholarship presentation in honor of the 10-year-old who was killed at Robb Elementary.
“When I thought about having a roping I knew that those saddles and buckles would last forever, long beyond us,” Chris Seiler, Makenna’s dad, said. “And it’s my hope that in a hundred years, someone might find one of those in a barn and see her name and speak her name”“People are gonna hear her name and know a little bit about the life of Makenna,” Seiler said.This time last year, April’s yard was filled with Makenna’s friends for her 10th birthday party.
They know Makenna would love seeing the arena filled with ropers and the parking lot packed with BBQ pits. “Young lady, that scholarship is $20,000,” the announcer said as the check was presented to Carlee Martinez. “Each time I back in the box, a little bit of Makenna will be with me. So as long as I’m going, Makenna’s memory will be too,” Martinez said.
