- Family Ride Rate: The CCA is offering a family ride rate to anyone traveling and entering rodeo’s as a family. To use this savings please notify the office prior to entering that you are entering as a family. The office will coach you along the rest of the way with this entry process. The new ruling is as follows:
The amount of $8.00 for families consisting of husband and wife or primary caregiver and contestant under the age of 18 as long as they reside in the same residence. Type of membership is not applicable. Contestant must notify RIDE Operator at time of entry.
- Bronc Riders: Alberta Premium has sponsored all Bareback and Saddle Bronc riders for the rest of the year by paying their entries. This is an excellent offer that I hope helps to increase the number of riders.
- Call Backs: Please make sure you are doing your call backs on Wednesday’s. This gives us as competitors a chance to see what day we are up and if there has been a mistake in your entry. Note: not getting drawn for your first preference does not constitute a mistake.
August 1st is quickly approaching. This date is important for all junior contestants competing in senior events. Junior memberships must be upgraded before August 1st to be eligible to compete in a senior event at the finals.
As the season is carrying along please be watchful of the points and standing on both the Ram Rodeo and CCA website. There is a tremendous amount of work that goes into processing the results of the rodeos but sometimes mistakes do happen. Please don’t get frustrated. Please call me or your event rep with any of your questions and we will see that your concerns are taken care of. Additionally if anyone has not been paid for a rodeo to this point, please let me know. I will look into this with the office and let you know when your checks had been mailed out.
We are still in need of event sponsorships for finals jackets. If anyone is interested in sponsoring an event please let your event rep or myself know so that we can get you a sponsorship package. A full sponsorship is $800 and a half sponsorship is $500. If anyone needs more details please do not hesitate to let me know.
I would like to congratulate you and all your success in the first half of the season. There is still a lot of season left to earn money and make that charge to the year end championship we all desire!!
Good Luck and see you on the trail!
Bill Thom
CCA Eastern Director
