Friday, March 23, 2012 – Daily News 7A Selvester to entertain at Round-Up Free Easter Egg hunt March 31 Courtesy photo Red Bluff 's own Clint Selvester is cer- tainly no stranger to the world of rodeo. You may think of him as just another young, fresh, good-looking face in the sport, and aptly so. However, to truly under- stand what makes Clint one of the biggest fans of rodeo, take a peek into his younger years. At the age of 13, Selvester worked on the "feed crew" at the Growney Ranch, and was introduced to retired rodeo legend, Red Rock. At age fif- teen, he hit the rodeo trail, spending summers working for Growney Brothers Rodeo Compa- ny. Filling the roll of "prankster" on the feed crew, Clint's uncle, Don Kish, made him a proposition. He was to create a rodeo mascot— to entertain, as well as interact with the fans. While the idea was great and the vision unclear, Kish gave Clint one month to put it together, along with the date of his first job to debut the new mascot. It was during the mascot's first performance that the fans gave the mascot his name. They named him Wolfey, after Wolf- man—the only bull in rodeo history ridden to a perfect score. Soon after, Wolfey became the first recognized mascot of the PRCA. With his large physique, humorous antics, and crowd inter- action, Wolfey created a large fan base across the West coast, performing at rodeos in Red Bluff, Clovis and Salinas, as well as St. Paul and The Pendleton Round-Up. Very early on in Clint's career as a barrel man, he jumped at the opportunity to fill in for Flint Rasmussen at sev- eral Built Ford Tough PBR events, including the Georgia Dome, in Atlanta, Ga. This amazing experi- ence lit a fire in Clint — giving him a desire to work hard at becoming one of the best clowns in the business. Since then, Selvester has worked the California Circuit Finals, The Rolex World Cup, and even opened for the World Champion San Francisco Giants. Selvester is also recog- nized in the motor- sports arena by becom- ing the first mascot and entertainer for the Advanced Auto Parts Monster Jam series. While entertaining fans is a huge part of Clint's job, he also takes pride in remaining true to rodeo as a barrel man. Helping riders and bull- fighters alike, Clint is able to provide a small island of protection in the arena. He may take a hit in the barrel, or maybe he just wows the crowd, but you can bet with his wild antics, quick wit, and off-the- cuff style, Clint is sure to get your attention. See Clint entertain the crowds at the Red Bluff Round-Up April 20, 21 and 22. For tick- ets call 530-527-1000 or go to www.red- bluffroundup.com.
