THE “CROWD PLEASER AWARD” IS SHARED THIS YEAR BY THE EVERGREEN ELKS 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 and join up. It is lots of fun and well worth your time. And it’s easy to volunteer – you can even do it online.
