• From Paula Yaussi: This is planning ahead for nationals, but please read this message:
  A very fun thing that happens at Nationals (both Jr. High and Sr. High) is the Silent Auction of items from each state to benefit the Cowboy Crisis Fund. Last year the Auction Display for Kansas had a retail value of $600 each. Many handcrafted items were donated from Kansas crafters and businesses and your Association contributed funds to purchase items as well. This year we are asking the membership to please donate an item to the cause. Please plan to bring your donated item to any of the remaining rodeos and State Finals at the latest. Your items can be dropped off with Paula Yaussi. Suggestions for items to donate are: All things western / cowboy, jewelry, belts, hats, picture frames, Kansas made items, wall decor, candles, Scentsy stuff, spurs, halters, perfume, hat bands, horse supplements, BBQ stuff, neat things you use living out of a trailer, stadium seats, anything rustic, yard art, etc. Please make sure these are new or very gently used items. Thanks so much for your help!!

• There has been some confusion on co-sanctioned rodeos on when you can change out of your western attire. Here is the rule -

  Contestants are required to be in full western dress one hour before the rodeo begins (does not include when cutting starts, but the actual rodeo). However, if you are in the arena, during the cutting contest, you are required to be in full western dress. Contestant and helper (adult and/or parent) if in arena must be in full western dress code. Contestant must be in western attire to check in with the rodeo secretary if it is one hour or less before/after the start/end of the rodeo. Contestants are required to be in western dress until the rodeo is complete.  If the rodeo is a co-sanction rodeo, you must remain in western attire until your rodeo is complete.  For example, if you are a high school member and the high school rodeo ends first, you can change after the last person goes in the last event even if the Jr. High rodeo is still going on and the other way around. So, at Greensburg there was much confusion about whether or not the Jr. High contestants had to be in western attire for the night performance. The answer was no. I was unclear on this myself, so I apologize if I created more confusion.

  
  If the rodeo is not over and you are in the office to pickup your checks - you must be in western attire to do so! We had several stop in on their way out to get checks in Emporia in shorts and t-shirts. The rodeo was not over. Please don't put Sherri and I in that kind of position to have to enforce that rule and get someone disqualified over something so simple.

All of the photos on this website are courtesy of Kent Kerschner, FotoCowboy. He does not charge us for these pictures. He is also not paid to be at the rodeos to take pictures. The only compensation that he gets is when you order pictures. I know in this economy it is tough, but I also know that you enjoy getting on his website and looking at your pictures after the rodeo. If he doesn't make any money, he can't continue to travel to our rodeos and take these pictures. Please make every effort to support Kent.
