The Harris County Sheriff’s Office Junior Mounted Posse honored Lauren Dahse with a cowboy hat and wooden baton signed by city leaders during Weimar’s Go Texan Day, Saturday, Feb. 14, outside Weimar City Hall.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office Junior Mounted Posse (HCSO JMP) annually participates in relay rides to surrounding counties to deliver invitations to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. To honor those along the way, the riders collect signatures from sheriffs, mayors and other city leaders on wooden batons and a cowboy hat. During the ride, the HCSO JMP gifted one of the batons and the cowboy hat from the year before to a person who greatly supported and impacted them. This year, the HCSO JMP gifted the tribute to Lauren Dahse, Weimar Police Department Administrator, member of the rodeo parade committee and 18year rodeo volunteer.
“Thank you to these girls for everything they do. Their love for horsemanship and riding is something that’s really special, and it’s special to my family too,” Dahse said in a speech after receiving the award. “We are big supporters of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo so any awareness that we can bring…is something that’s really incredible.”
