Regarding Openings
& Closings- The explanation listed below is specific
to those rodeos which were under a 48 hour delay because
of the PRCA office closure. That is why they are specifically
listed. If a rodeo was scheduled to open today, it
will open and close as posted. The PRCA has also asked
that all turn out information or other rodeo questions
should go through Procom instead of sending an email
or contacting a rodeo secretary.
6/29/2012 9:00 AM: Procom
is being inundated with calls. They will be working
all weekend. Being delayed 48 hours means the closings
will be as follows: Closings
for Friday (6/29) are Nampa at 10:00 AM MT,
Gunnison at 10:30 AM MT and Fort Pierre at 11:00 AM
MT. Closings for Saturday (6/30)
are Deadwood at 10:30 AM MT, Ogden at 11:00 AM MT
and Nephi at 10:00 AM MT. Closings
for Sunday (7/1) are Dodge City at 10:00 AM
MT, Drummond at 10:30 AM MT, Salt Lake City at 11:00
AM MT, Helena at 11:30 AM MT and Elgin at 12:00 PM
MT. Please take note and pace your calling. They are
very busy trying to take care of the first closings
first. Thank you for your help.
6/28 8:36 PM: The PRCA
has announced that the evacuation ban has been lifted
and they will be back in their headquarters in full
force in the morning. They may be a day or so behind
but will be caught up over the weekend. We will provide
more information as we get it. The WPRA office thanks
you for your patience and keeping up with web site
and Facebook updates.

June
27, 2012. 7 a.m. - The PRCA National Headquarters,
located in Colorado Springs, is currently closed due
to the mandatory evacuations created by the fires.
At this time ProCom is closed. They are making arrangements
to support the membership remotely. The WPRA office
is open and in not under any evacuation orders at
this time. With Procom closed, there are no rodeo
entries being taken, no call backs, nothing at all.
They are working through their backup plans. We have
offered our assistance to them during this difficult
time. Please be patient. We will be back in touch
with you as soon as we have more information. The

WPRA Will Miss an Old Friend...
2/9/12
The WPRA lost
an old friend on January 23, 2012 when Manuelita Mitchell
(Woodward Richards) passed away. Manuelita was a professional
barrel racer from our early days and served on the
Girls Rodeo Association as Secretary. She along with
the others from that time where very instrumental
and helped pave the way to where we are today. Manuelita
was inducted into The Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame.
We extend our condolences to her family. (Photo,
