#176 Bonus Episode | Frost Family — First Frontier Circuit, Maine Rodeo Roots

Feb 13, 2026

BTC is on the road at the First Frontier Circuit Finals in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, sitting down with Larry Frost — a rodeo producer from Levant, Maine whose story proves rodeo doesn’t always start with a business plan.

It starts with a dream, a family willing to do the work, and a commitment to community.

In this Friday night bonus episode, Larry shares how a phone call turned into a charity rodeo that feeds cowboys lobster and steak, supports causes like Shriners and Make-A-Wish, and brings people together rain or shine. You’ll hear about perseverance, small-town rodeo roots, and why memories — not money — are the real payoff.

Recorded live at the First Frontier Circuit Finals. Unscripted. Honest. Full of heart.

Beyond the Chutes — because these stories matter.
