Good Luck to everyone this season!!

Delda Thiel and Katie Richert

First off, we will be holding a kick-off pizza party and auction Saturday night after the rodeo.  We are guessing for this to start around 5:30 p.m.  We are hoping that everyone is able to bring one or two items to the auction.  Please bring a lawn chair and come and enjoy in the fun!

Decorah Shooting Events will begin at 1:00 p.m. Head to the Rodeos page to review the Kickoff Party & Auction Flyer, the Order of Events, and the Information Sheet.

NEW RULE:  High school girls breakaway ropers will only be allowed one loop, and it must be a bell collar catch for a qualified time.

Fundraiser

• JH contestants will be able to buy out or sell candy bars again this year.  More information to come.
• HS contestants will be selling 500 raffle tickets with similar items on the raffle ticket.  More information to come.

Each contestant will be required to sell 70 tickets that cost $5.00 each for $350 total.

Hoping that tickets are available to pick up at Manawa.

Tickets and money will be due no later than Arcadia.

*If you obtain a sponsorship and your $350 raffle requirement is to be deducted from the sponsorship amount, please let myself know right away. Also, please let your sponsor know especially if the deduction moves them to a different sponsorship level. I have attached the sponsorship information again. It is also available on our website HERE.
