The rodeo Hall of Fame came calling for Montana’s own Jonnie Jonckowski. Though she grew up with plans to race around a track, she would wind up in an industry where an 8-second race on the back of a tornado would be all the time she needed to win gold. It was anything but easy. But the hard work paid off and Jonnie’s story is now being told to a wider audience in an upcoming documentary simply called “Jonnie.”
Click on the podcast as 1991 Cowgirl Hall of Fame Inductee and the 2-time National Women’s Bull Riding Champion Jonnie Jonckowski joins us in-studio to retrace her trail through the early years of women’s professional rodeo. Featuring story-tellers and Jonnie co-producers Scott Sterling (Montana PBS), and Sabrina Lee, (independent).
