OKLAHOMA CITY — Retired Choteau funnyman Flint Rasmussen is being inducted into the National Rodeo Hall of Fame, the organization announced Tuesday.
Rasmussen joined the PRCA as a rodeo clown in 1994. An eight-time PRCA Clown of the Year and seven-time Coors Man in the Can, Rasmussen was an National Finals Rodeo barrelman eight times — making his first appearance in 1998 — and a three-time Canadian Finals Rodeo clown.
