Rodeo Schedule

1. National and state membership applications must be submitted to the membership secretary and dues paid ten days prior to the entry date of the rodeo you want to compete in. Applications which are incomplete will be returned to you.

2. Entries are called in on the Tuesday 10 days prior to the rodeo you are entering. Entries are taken from 6 to 9 am, and again from 6 to 9 pm. You may late enter until Thursday (8 days prior to the rodeo) at 9 am, for an additional fee of $10 per day. NO entries will be taken after 9 am Thursday. Please don’t leave a message on the answering machine. You need to talk to me, and I WILL answer if you’re calling during the correct time frame. The entry number is 509-962-NTRY. (509-962-6879) Please call only during the time that has been set aside for you to enter and call back! I have other jobs using that number at other times and want to be able to give you the attention you deserve.

3. To be sure you are entered in the correct events you may check the website or call back on Thursday (8 days prior to the rodeo) from 7 to 9 pm ONLY. If there is an error you must call me by 9 pm Thursday to get it corrected. You may also draw out of one or more events until that time and will owe nothing for the events you drew out of.

4. When you enter a rodeo you are responsible for all entry fees and office charges. If you don’t show up you will be charged an additional $25 for the weekend, unless you notify that rodeo’s secretary, at least one day before the first performance, that you will not be attending. The ONLY time you do not have to pay the full amount of your fees is if you notify me prior to the rodeo that you will be medical or vet releasing AND send me a medical or vet release which must be postmarked within 3 days of the rodeo. You will still owe the office charges. A vet release can only be used for barrels, poles and cutting.

Please read the standing rules, which I will send along with your membership card.

They are also available on the website. Not knowing the rules will not be accepted as an excuse at any time. Although the fall rodeos have not yet been scheduled you should get your membership to me as soon as possible if you intend to rodeo with us this fall. I have to have it 20 days before the rodeo you plan to enter and the summer is almost gone!

If you have questions call me at 509-925-3521 or email: macwater@elltel.net

I’m anxious to see you all! Gena
