Just a couple updates : Bits moved to engraving category
: New hat category
: Saddle stands for rent
Unfortunately, it seems there is not much interest in the Bit category. We have had a hard time getting entries in this category since the beginning. As of now we have 0 entries in this category. We will no longer have a Bit category, so if you would like to make a Bit you can enter it in the Engraving category.
We have added a new category: HATS!
After talking to several hat makers in Las Vegas last week at Cowboy Christmas, all of the ones I talked to were very interested in the contest. I sent out an email to about 20 other hat makers when I got home and also received a very positive response. So here's a chance for Hat Makers to get the exposure at Loveland and at the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. This will be added to the application soon or you can just write it in.
We will also have saddle stands for rent for $20.00 and will be for the duration of the contest and the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame exhibit.
Since there might be saddles coming from other countries and some might have to be mailed this is one way to have a stand without shipping it. There will be a place for this on the application soon and will need to be paid with the deposit so we know how many we will need.
So the 2011 categories are: Boots
Braiding
Engraving
Hats
Leather Carving
Saddles
Spurs
Youth (18 and under, any category)
Still looking for Braiding Champion, Braiding "People's Choice" and youth sponsors if anyone is interested.
