Casey Jordan Report post Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Here's the results from the 1st "Art of the Cowboy Makers" contest. It was a huge sucess and we will be adding 2 more categories for the next years contest, braiding & Engraving. The judging is done by all the entries, so if you are entered-your judging. The "People's Choice" was voted on by everyone who attended the show. This system worked out very well. We will limit it to 25 per category, 1st come-1st serve ! As soon as we have the dates I will post all the information. 2009 Results: Bits: 1st- Kevin Peebler 2nd- Henry Ellis 3rd- Gary Keithly Peoples Choice- Kevin Peebler Boots: 1st- Bill Niemczyk 2nd- Lisa Sorrell 3rd- Schwarz Custom Boots Peoples Choice- Schwarz Custom Boots Saddles: 1st- Casey Jordan 2nd- Bader Custom Saddles 3rd- Powder River Saddles Peoples Choice- Casey Jordan Spurs: 1st- Gary Wiggins 2nd- Kevin Peebler 3rd- Henry Ellis Peoples Choice- L&M Spurs If you have any comments or suggestions, Please let me know.

Bob Report post Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) Where on the site are the pictures? I can not get anything to open except next years shows. That's what I found also. No pictures of the recent shows. At least the links didn't work. A BIG congratulations to Casey Jordon for a excellant job and fine craftsmanship. I know those skills don't come easy. Some say "Your lucky", There's no luck involved at all, it's just hard work and time spent. Congratulations Casey. Edited June 6, 2009 by Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crystal Sorry folks, not trying to be difficult, it's just the links in the green box do not go anywhere.... Maybe it's cause i'm using firefox ... who knows. Sometimes these computer things cause more problems than they're worth.... Just the same, I'm sure they're just fine looking saddles and stuff. Like Crystal said....

Bob, I just tryed the link and got right through, but it does take a few minutes for the pictures to load. Maybe someone with more computer smarts than me knows how to fix the problem. It might be firefox, I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArtS Report post Posted June 6, 2009 I use Firefox and the links didn't work. I had to use Explorer to get the links to work. Art Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayban Report post Posted June 6, 2009 Congrats Casey.....that would be a great show to be part of, or just go see stuff... Question, must one have a mustache to enter?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey Jordan Report post Posted June 6, 2009 Congrats Casey.....that would be a great show to be part of, or just go see stuff...Question, must one have a mustache to enter?? Thanks Rayban. Everyone that was entered seemed real happy with the whole show. A lot of exposure and quite a few items were sold right off the entry table. I know several orders were taken because the entry was already sold. The dealers and general public were real excited to be able to get involved and vote. They really studied the items to make up their minds, instead of walking by and saying "that's nice" without even slowing down. We want to promote the contemporary makers. It worked very well this way. I will be posting all the details, rules and applications pretty soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anne newkold Report post Posted June 6, 2009 Apparently the links only work in IE. I tried to use firefox, google chrome, and most of the pictures and text on the pages overlap other text or pictures...... Guess their webmaster does not bother to view the pages in other browsers. there is a way to fix that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
