Allison Gray is the Dublin Rodeo Heritage Museum’s new intern that comes every Thursday. Allison comes from a rodeo ranch background and loves music, photography, writing and history. Her grandfather, Tony Gray, is a team roper and her mother Brandy was the Matagorda County Rodeo Queen and is now a wedding photographer. Allison is a triplet and has two sisters, Lauren and Brooke. Allison and her family moved to the Cottonwood area, in Dublin, Texas from New Braunfels, with plans of opening a nonprofit ranch retreat for youths, veterans, caregivers, families and corporate groups. The nonprofit ranch facility is called “4:13 Ranch Cowboy Ministries,” offering camps with activities such as trail rides, ranch rodeos and living the western way of life with Christian teambuilding, confidence building and faith building. The ranch is based on Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things though Christ who strengthens me”. For more information email info@413ranch.com. Carolyn Harbin | submitted photo
