Every entry, everyone who set up a barrel, opened a gate, and everything else that needed done and got done. Our directors worked very hard to make things run smoothly all weekend. A special thanks to outgoing directors. Alyce Hager of MT thanks for doing a great job on the membership card . Rhonda Livingstone of ID thanks for setting 3rd barrel for many hours at a time and helping in the office. Elaine Hollings WY. for doing a great job on the silent auction and making it a success. Sunday Bossert SD along with her husband Chuck for a great job on the stalls and sawdust. Your shoes will be very hard to fill, thanks girls. Along with Carey Mackey , Ellen Allemand, Nicole Joesph, Lisa Lammers, Sammy Meeks, Brenda Rettinger, thanks for everything you did all year and at the finals. Bobby Jo Heald did a great job of announcing, keeping the runners on task, making so many runs move along in a timely manner. Thanks Bobby Jo. Thank You "Wow" that is the only way to describe the 2007 NWBRA finals. The association boasted 355 entries in the open 4D. Held at the Cam-plex in Gillette Wyoming, where again our hats are off to the staff that works incredibly hard to see that the facility from the stalls to the ground is excellent. Loritta Crofford, Carey Mackey, the directors and volunteers have done a super job working with the Cam-plex staff to put on the best finals the association has held. Forever growing and learning this association is just getting better and better. At the general meeting on Friday evening Loritta Crofford presented the membership with the rules of incorporation and stated the association had filed the proper tax returns. The treasures report was handed out to members that were interested. The amount that a producer can hold out of a sanctioned barrel race was discussed and the association feels that the producers have the right to withhold as they see fit to keep their races running. If you need more information about much is being held out and the rules of a barrel race please contact that producer. Nominations were taken for new state directors and voting boxes were set up by the office for the members to vote over the weekend. This year barn 3 was added for the use of the contestants. On the cool and yes a bit windy mornings it was wonderful to have that option to warm up in. Chubs Grub was on the job from early in the morning until things wrapped up at night. Those steak sandwiches were awesome. Thanks for the good food and hot coffee (or cocoa). Bobbie Heald as always has done a wonderful job keeping things moving smoothly and people were they needed to be. Bobbie - you are awesome! Scott Mackey filled in the at announcer's booth, the office, at the gate and were ever else he was needed. It was greatly appreciated - Thanks Scott! Linda Rittenberger had an accident on Thursday evening at the first barrel. We are all thankful that she was not badly injured and back on her horse for the weekend. Sunday Bossert had a collision with the gate on Saturday. Some serious bruises appeared over a fractured cheek bone and laughing was a chore for her because of broken ribs. She will be recovering for a while but she did spend the weekend with us. This year the board of directors awarded vests to producers from each state and coats to the top in the association. There were 3 categories. Most Barrel Races Produced, Highest Number of Entries and a State Producer. These NWBRA producers received awards at the NWBRA finals. The NWBRA would like to thank each of our producers - without you we could not have such a wonderful association. 2007 NWBRA Producers Carey Macke,y Lynn Kohr WY, Jackie McPherson/Shelly Christensen, Heather Nordick, Lana Ireland, Juli Jo Kelly, Ali Mille,r Colette Fenste,r Barb Robinson, Teresa Caldwell, Cody Gines, Rhonda Livingstone, Linda Hunter, Terri Muzzey, Sheryl Schweitzer, Wendy Pehringe,r Joeleen Ottun, Deb Black, Colleen Donaldson, Wanda Brown, Kelli Word, Judy Drinkwalter/Jean Reeves/Deb Thompson, Georgann Addison, Ginny Eck, Pam Nelson, Sandie Green, Brenda Rettinger/Connie Buck, Karen Wilkes, Zeann Gollihe,r Gloria Philp, Penny Teeter, Michel Reise,r Deanna Steele, Tammy Trollinger.Last but certainly not least a big THANK YOU to those that support the NWBRA.

To all the people who helped me out before the ambulance came. And to all the people who checked on me when I got back, and offered there help if I needed it. Also to Reets and Lynn for riding my horses for me, Thank you. I am feeling better, but won't be on my horse for awhile. Ribs hurt but face only hurts when I eat.

Just wanted all of the NWBRA officers and directors to know how much I appreciated all of the work you all put into the finals at Gillette. The event was terrific and so much fun to see all of the barrel racers and their great horses again. Thank you for the beautiful breast collar I received on Jake in the senior division. Thanks to all the people who put the approved barrel racings during the year too....It takes alot of volunteers and commitment to make these things work....You all are super!!!! Happy Trails Janie Norlin Thanks so much for the vest, what a nice touch! I was really looking long and hard at those vests the other day, glad I did not buy one! I really appreciated it.

I left the finals before the open awards were given out so I didn't realize the directors received the Carhart vests! My friend Linda Girrard gave me my vest last week, what a pleasant surprise! I wanted to thank whomever got those for us. If they were donated I'd like to send a thank you. Also, thanks to Roper for donating the 4 western shirts we received. The finals was a huge success and the prizes were awesome! The NWBRA is such a great association and it's been a pleasure to be associated with it as a director. Hat's off to those directors that did so much more work than I did! You really do rock! Elaine Hollings
