THE SHERIDAN ELKS LODGE #520 WELCOMES ALL THE FAMILIES
AND COMPETITORS TO THEIR THIRTEENTH ANNUAL YOUTH RODEO
Notes,
Thanks and Acknowledgements
FORD TRUCK We want to thank Fremont Motor Sheridan, Inc. for continuing to provide a one year lease on a 3/4 ton, 4 wheel drive, XLT Supercab Ford truck. This truck is again loaded with options such as a five speed torq. shift and a 6.0 liter power stroke turbo diesel. The contract will be in the name of the winner's parent or guardian. Licenses, sales tax and insurance will be the responsibility of the winner.
Prime Rate Motor - Jackson Trailer Sales is again providing a trailer with a third drop down feed door, an extra bus window behind the horses and 6000 lb. torsion axles. Sheet metal on the sides, roof and back door are galveneal non-rust.
The Sheridan Cowgirls will be holding a jackpot roping,
3d barrel race, etc., on Friday night, 5pm to 10pm. Contestants and families are welcome to participate.
If you have a new partner, this is a good time to meet and practice with them.
We will again be doing a yearbook with the photos that will be taken at the
rodeo. This will include snapshots of all participants and candid photos from
the events. We will be accepting orders for the yearbook during registration, so
be sure to look for details then.
We plan to use calves for the Break-Away Roping.
Goat Tying and Goat Tail Tying will again be held on the track in front of the
grandstand. This will effectively give us three arenas.
We want to thank our local area contestants for hauling last year, however, we are still running short on stalling at the fairgrounds. We are AGAIN asking our local area contestants to please haul each day if possible. We will be assigning stalls on a first come, first serve basis. If we run out of stalls we will be assigning open pens and we will try to assist you with stalling in the area. We are also checking into portable stalling. Please get your entries in early.
We make no distinction between boys & girls. All events are open to either. In
our team events the team can be Boy-Girl, Boy-Boy or Girl-Girl.
If you don't have a partner, we will try to match you up with one. On the entry
blank where you would put your partner's name, write need one. In order
to match up team ropers we need to know if you head or heel. If you have a
preference, but are willing to do either, we need to know. Intermediate team
ropers, if you can heel, we need to know. We are always short on heelers. For
ribbon ropers needing partners, we need to know if you are the roper or runner
and if you are willing to do either.
It takes over 70 volunteers to put on this show. Some of the best and most
knowledgeable help is our
contestant's parents and family. If you are willing to help this year, please put a note with the entry forms letting us know where you would prefer to help. We may not need to use everyone, but it would sure be nice to know who is available when someone gets ill or does not show up.
We intend to use flagging for the ribbon race this year.
