COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Caldwell Night Rodeo has
again been nominated for Large Outdoor Rodeos of the year by the
Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. This marks the sixth time
in the past seven years the CNR has been selected. Cheyenne, Wyo.,
San Antonio, Deadwood, S.D. and Estes Park, Colo. all of which
were voted Rodeo Committee of the Year in their categories a year
ago -- are back among the 2007 nominees announced to determine
the best of the best in ProRodeo.
The top 100 contestants in each event, as well as contract personnel
and rodeo committees have until Oct. 31 to turn in their ballots
for the 2007 Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association Year-End Awards.
The winner in each of the 11 categories will be announced on Dec.
5 in Las Vegas at the Annual PRCA Awards Banquet.
Cheyenne Frontier Days has been the Large Outdoor Rodeo Committee
of the Year eight times since 1993, including the last three years
in succession. It faces stiff competition from fellow nominees
at the Pendleton (Ore.) Round-Up and the Reno (Nev.) Rodeo -- also
past winners of the award -- plus the Caldwell (Idaho) Night Rodeo
and the La Fiesta de los Vaqueros Rodeo in Tucson, Ariz.
The two-time and reigning Indoor Rodeo Committee of the Year from
the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo is nominated again with
nine-time winner of the award Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo,
as well as the National Western Rodeo in Denver, the Black Hills
Stock Show & Rodeo in Rapid City, S.D., and the Southwestern
Exposition & Livestock Show in Fort Worth, Texas.
Since the creation of the Medium Rodeo Committee of the Year Award
in 2004, the Deadwood Days of '76 Rodeo has won it all three times
and is nominated again along with the Kitsap County Fair & Stampede
in Bremerton, Wash., the Black Hills Round-Up in Belle Fourche,
S.D., the Gladewater (Texas) Round-Up Rodeo and the Dixie National
Roundup in Jackson, Miss.
The Rooftop Rodeo of Estes Park, which won the Small Rodeo Committee
of the Year Award in 2003 and again last year, is on the ballot
with fellow two-time winner Steamboat Springs (Colo.) ProRodeo
Series, the Crystal Springs Ranch Rodeo in Clear Lake, S.D., the
Mesquite (Texas) Championship Rodeo and the Helotes (Texas) Festival
Association Rodeo.
Announcer of the Year will be one of the most hotly contested categories,
with multiple award winners Bob Tallman, Randy Corley and Hadley
Barrett on the ballot along with 2005 winner Wayne Brooks and 12-year
NFR veteran Boyd Polhamus. Four out of the five nominees for Announcer
of the Year announce rodeos locally. Randy Corley and Hadley Barrett
work the Caldwell Night Rodeo while Bob Tallman and Boyd Polhamus
co-announce the Snake River Stampede in Nampa.
