WNFR Festivities Underway

The Miss Rodeo America Pageant has been underway in Vegas for the last while, but Tuesday night marked the first of official rodeo contestant activities. The contestants gathered for the WNFR Welcome Reception where they received their back numbers, Resistol hats, official WNFR Jacket, ring and other gifts.






2010 AQHA/PRCA Horse of The Year Awards were previously announced, but the awards were given Wednesday December 1 at the PRCA Awards banquet.
