CLUB AND CUB SCOUT PACK #119. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR WE HAVE HAD A TIE
FOR THIS AWARD!

Bring
the family and friends for some old-time fun – horses, floats,
bands – and help the judges decide on this year’s Overall
Crowd Pleaser.
Here
is the criteria for being judged:
There
is a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each category:
Youth entry
Non commercial adult entry
Commercial adult entry
then in each category you are judged on : Originality, Crowd Appeal
& Use of theme
There will be a total of 9 winners.
And
for the bonus round:
There
is an overall Crowd pleaser that the judges pick. They decide based
on what they liked. Not sure there is any criteria just what they
liked.
Then we will have the peoples choice. Spectators put ballots in
the ballot box and the one with the most votes wins..
There will be a grand total of 11 winners..
As
always, we need a WAGON LOAD OF VOLUNTEERS, so if you haven’t
decided how to spend a few hours this rodeo season, give us a holler

easy to volunteer – you can even do it online.
