The WRANGLER Horse & Rodeo News is the Official Newsletter of the WHSRA
We are aware of the issues and concerns over the camping at Gillette! Please click here for a 'Memo' from Dixie regarding camping/stalls/golf carts at Gillette! If you still have questions or concerns regarding our camping/stall assignments or anything else pertaining to the Finals in Gillette, please give Dixie a call (307.351.1327), send a text or email (djhuxtable@yahoo.com). I'll do what I can, but we are one of 47 states/provinces and just because we live here does not gain us any privileges! Lets go to the Gillette Camplex and concentrate on bringing home championships and scholarships and put the camping issue to rest!
We are fortunate enough to have the Gillette American Legion host a meal for us on Monday July 17th, starting at 4:30 at their facility. Their street address is 200 Rockpile. All Wyoming contestants and their families are welcome to come participate. If you cannot make, please let Shelly or Dixie know so we can let the Legion cooks know!
