Lecile: This Ain't My First Rodeo

From the dusty rodeo arenas of the Deep South to sold-out crowds across America, Lecile: This Ain't My First Rodeo captures the unforgettable voice, humor, and heart of legendary rodeo clown Lecile Harris.

For more than fifty years, Lecile Harris made audiences laugh from the center of the arena while living one of the wildest and most colorful lives in American entertainment. A four-time PRCA Clown of the Year and rodeo hall-of-famer, Lecile became known not just for his comedy, but for his storytelling, larger-than-life personality, and deep love of the people and traditions of the American South and West.

Told in Lecile’s own unmistakable voice, this award-winning memoir is packed with:
