had ever seen in one stomp.<br />
In his lifetime, he had only<br />
been ridden seven times when<br />
he was young and had a slight<br />
leg fracture. He did snort and<br />
kick a little dirt to impress us<br />
before we left.<br />
One afternoon we went to<br />
the stock sale where bucking<br />
broncos, saddle broncos,<br />
fighting bulls, and bucking<br />
bulls were sold. Amateur<br />
cowboys from high school<br />
and college rodeo tried to<br />
ride them as they showed<br />
their bucking style. I could<br />
picture my kissed cowboy as<br />
a college boy. From the stock<br />
show, we realized the scope of<br />
rodeo entertainment from the<br />
number of stock sellers and<br />
rodeo buyers.<br />
We toured the casinos. I will<br />
only comment that I savored<br />
every quarter I lost.<br />
We shopped at the Western<br />
Gift Show where five hundred<br />
vendors pushed everything<br />
from hats to horse trailers. I<br />
got my t-shirt there that I now<br />
wear proudly. I also managed<br />
to get pictures of some of my<br />
favorite rodeo cowboys who<br />
were selling their posters,<br />
videos, and other wares. No<br />
surprise that most of them<br />
looked rather beat-up after a<br />
week of rodeo sessions.<br />
The finale to our rally was<br />
the last and tenth rodeo session<br />
on Sunday. I was anxious<br />
to see Mike, my kissed cowboy.<br />
I sadly observed that he<br />
had not ridden one bull. Nine<br />
times he had been bucked off.<br />
He was scheduled to ride Durango....<br />
Then it was ten times<br />
bucked off.<br />
That kiss didn’t bring Mike<br />
any luck. In fact, he would<br />
finish with just the $77,934.<br />
Last year, as a rookie, he<br />
earned $105,293 and placed<br />
fifth in the standings. These<br />
finals brought no rides, no<br />
scores, and no dollars.<br />
And no girlfriend, I wondered.<br />
I had a great time at the<br />
rodeo rally.<br />

Home Equity Line of Credit Rates<br />
as low as 5.00% APR and<br />
no closing costs*<br />
Low Rate Home Equity Line<br />
Now you can tackle that remodeling project, thanks to the equity<br />
in your home and our great low rate. A Civista Bank Home Equity<br />
Line of Credit offers the financing you need from a trusted lender.<br />
In fact, we’ve been helping families like yours for over 135 years!<br />
Visit your nearby branch, or call 800.604.9368<br />
today to get started.<br />
* Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) lowest rate is Prime (5.00% Annual Percentage Rate (APR)) as of 10/1/<strong>19</strong>. The lowest rate includes no closing costs for equity lines under $500,000.00 that remain open for at least 36 months. If you close your line of credit within<br />
36 months of account opening, the bank origination fee waived at account opening ($350.00 as of 9/1/<strong>19</strong>) may be assessed. Annual fee is $50.00 and is waived with automatic monthly payment deduction from Civista Bank checking account. The APR may<br />
vary based on The Wall Street Journal “Prime Rate” (Prime) as published on the first day of the month. Minimum APR is 3.25% and maximum APR is 25.00%. Rate and terms may change at any time and may vary by property type,<br />
loan amount, credit history, and loan-to-value ratio. Property insurance required and flood insurance may be required. Consult your tax advisor regarding the tax deductibility of interest. Important<br />
Consideration when managing Interest-Only Payments: the interest rate on a home equity line of credit is variable; therefore, your monthly interest-only payment may<br />
change with market rates. Your principal balance is only reduced when you make voluntary principal payments during the 15 year draw period of<br />
your home equity line of credit. At maturity, any remaining account balance outstanding will be due in a single balloon<br />
payment. At that time, the bank may, but is not obligated to, refinance the line of credit.<br />
