Wild Wild West Weekend

Many people visited Campit Resort the weekend of August 13th-15th for a rip roarin' time. It was attended by MIGRA, ILGRA, the Renegades and the Wisconsin Cowboys.

MIGRA hosted a fundraising contest, awarding a sash and weekend pass for RodeoFest 2011 to the winners. Congratulations to J.D. - our MR. NOBULL winner and Mary from WI, our MS. COWPATTY winner.

ILGRA presented a Goat Dressing segment, Roping segment, and Bull Riding (in the pool, would ya belive?!). Participants and spectators alike seemed to have a grand time!

Mr. MIGRA 2010 and Miss Charity Donation both dressed the goat. Photos coming soon!

 


Board of Directors Meeting Location Change

The August 28th Board of Directors meeting will be held at 4 PM in Taylor at Mike Shannon's home (address link below), not at the R & R as previously announced.. If you plan on attending, please make note of the change.
