Synopsis

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:

• Outrageous road stories and rodeo adventures
• Laugh-out-loud humor from a disappearing American era
• Heartfelt memories of family, faith, friendship, and life on the road
• Behind-the-scenes stories from the golden age of rodeo entertainment
• Colorful Southern characters, hard lessons, and unforgettable moments

Whether you grew up around rodeos or simply love authentic American storytelling, Lecile’s stories feel like sitting on a porch listening to one of the last true originals.

More than a rodeo memoir, this is a living piece of Americana — funny, honest, rough around the edges, and deeply human.

Winner of the Will Rogers Medallion Award for Excellence in Western Literature.

Perfect for fans of:

• rodeo and cowboy culture
• Southern storytelling
• rural Americana
• country humor
