CHAPS Rodeo Weekend Highlights, 2005

CHAPS appreciates the opportunity to participate in the Sheridan WYO Rodeo activities each year. We are grateful for the support of the Sheridan WYO Rodeo Board of Directors and The Big Horn Equestrian Center.

Each year we have a booth for information about equine assisted therapy activities, and each night of the rodeo one of our CHAPS clients rides out in front of the crowd to draw a winning name for the WYO Rodeo jacket raffle. We sponsor the Box Lunch Auction at Sunday Polo for WYO Rodeo and Eaton Cup action, and start festivities off at the Boot Kick Off in Kendrick Park.

Staffing the CHAPS booth

Board Members Del and Peggy Acker, Mike Sager, and Volunteer Colleen Sutherlin staff the info booth and sell tickets for George Strait and Ty Murray cutouts.
