Notes From Pam


8/29/2011   

Please check to be sure you are entered in the events you want to be in.  If there is something wrong, PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU GET TO THE RODEO TO LET ME KNOW!!  Call me with any corrections so we don't have a mess on the morning of the finals. 
 
This is not necessarily the order you will run in, only a list of events to make sure everyone is entered correctly.  Contestant order for Sunday at the finals will be reversed (bottom to top).  Event order will remain the same.
 
We will do the 5&under dummy roping following the stick horse events in the arena so everyone has the opportunity to watch the kids rope. 
 
Don't forget we are having a cookout Friday evening at 8:00 p.m. with an "introduction of contestants" immediately following.  Bring all your family & friends to cookout & stay to participate in the "introduction"! 
 
Rodeo will start at 9:00 a.m. both days & run as always (with exception of dummy roping).  We will have a jackpot teamroping on Saturday evening & a karaoke & dance on Sunday evening.  Lane Frosts' mom will speak to us on Monday morning at awards banquet.  Pictures will be at 8:30 a.m. in arena on Monday, followed by breakfast & speaker in fair barns across the street (south) of arena.  Then awards will be handed out. 
 
Checks will not be handed out Saturday or Sunday.  Pick them up at awards banquet.  I am working on auditing the points & will try to get them posted by Wednesday.  If you find errors or disagree with something, please call & let me know so points will be correct on points board at finals.
 
Don't forget your silent auction items (1 per family).  You must bring this when you check in.  If not turned in before rodeo starts on Saturday, you will not get to rodeo!!  Please don't forget.  All proceeds will be divided evenly among college bound students or students enrolled in college for next year.  If you want to be included in scholarship money, you must sign up when you turn in your silent auction item.  IF YOU DO NOT SIGN UP, YOU WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR MONEY!!  You must send proof of enrollment next fall & money will be paid in Februay if you send proof of returning for second semester.  If you do not send proof, your portion of money will be divided equally among those who fulfilled their responsibilities. 
 
We will draw for the ticket drawing winners at the banquet.  Money due to those who sold additional tickets or collected additional sponsor money (anything over required $200) will also be handed out at banquet. 
 
There will be points boards posted at rodeo so everyone can keep up with where they are sitting during the weekend.  If you find a discrpency on the points, please let me know so it can be corrected BEFORE PRIZES ARE AWARDED!! 
 
Stalls & hookups on first come first serve basis as always.  Host hotel will be the Wayfarer Inn.  Let them know you are with the NWOJR for rodeo discount.  See you this weekend & good luck to all contestants!!

There is a bicycle activity going on at the crystal beach park this weekend, so the roads may be blocked off.  You may have to enter in front of Kids Inc. instead of going by the big arena.  Enter from the North. 
 
Be sure to come by the trailer to get your raffle tickets if you are going to sell tickets!  It is up to you to get them.  If you are doing sponsorships, the forms are on the web page.  Your $200.00 required sponsorship money IS DUE AT THE JUNE RODEO!!  We will also try on jackets at that rodeo.  Please pay close attention to the change in the order of events this year. 
 Calves will be drawn, but will be chute run, so you will need to be paying attention and ride in box when your calf is in the chute.  
Team ropers may enter 2 times with different partner or switch ends.  Both partners owe entry fee & will be eligible for jackpot.  An adult can rope with the kids in EITHER team roping.  Adult must also pay entry fee.  They will be eligible for jackpot, but no points.
 
Ribbon ropers may enter 2 times with different partner or switch ends.  NO ADULTS!  Both partners must pay entry fee & will be eligible for jackpot & points. 
DON'T FORGET YOUR WHITE FLAG on your breakaway ropes!! 
We have added several events this year, so please try to help us run this off in a reasonable amount of time.
