Top row, left to right: Theresa Walter and Fames Licorice Kiss won the year-end and the average, in addition to a speedy first-round victory of 12.82. Chloe Hoovestal and Action For Cash RB (whom she bought from Rayna Rice last fall) won the second go, 2nd in the average and moved from 7th to 2nd in the year-end standings. Bottom row: Katie Rasmussen and Nowdatsreallysmokin won third in the average, placed in every round, and moved from 12th to 4th in year-end standings. They won the third round for the second year in a row. Darcy Mapston and Hero were fourth in the average and finished just one out of the money in two go-rounds (shown here with her one-out-of-the money vest from Dave & Donna Johnson Ranch.

I would like to congratulate Theresa Walter for winning the 2011 Year End Title and the Average Title at our circuit finals this weekend. Both she and Chloe Hoovestal are headed to the Oklahoma to the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo in April. This weekend I observed some incredible competition and wonderful sportsmanship by some absolutely amazing women. It was an honor to be able to watch and support you girls this weekend.

Our circuit breakfast was a success, thanks to Maria Taylor for all her hard work. There was a lot of responsibility on her shoulders and she organized everything flawlessly. I had such a great time laughing and sharing stories with everyone there, minus my daughter’s little ad-libs of her "potty status" during our important topics of business. Thanks to everyone for their understanding and being patient with me. Thank you to all the girls for the great computer bag, I LOVE it. I went to work this morning in style :) 

Our WPRA President, Jimmie Munroe will be in Billings at the Montana Pro Rodeo Hall & Wall of Fame fundraiser the last weekend in January. She would like to have a meeting allowing WPRA members and non members to come and have an informal Q&A with her on Saturday January 28 at 2:00 pm at the Holiday Inn. I will be there and I would love for everyone who can to come and join us. This is a great time to be able to speak to our president and let her hear our voices. Please RSVP to email@montanawpra.com if you are planning on meeting with Jimmie so we can reserve a room with enough seating.

Watch your mail boxes because I will be sending out a member’s letter this week so everyone has a chance to vote on the rodeo co-approval decision. On another note, although the WPRA has not been contacted by the Canadian rodeos seeking co-approval by the Montana circuit, I am not planning on co-approving as not all members can cross into the Canadian border and also members would have the financial burden of purchasing a Canadian card and health inspections each time they cross into Canada.

Here is to a fantastic weekend in Great Falls at the Circuit Finals and an even better 2012 season to come!!
