Volunteers work here to help cowboys/cowgirls get the items they need and show our true hospitality.
GATES COMMITTEE - These volunteers help with protecting the integrity of the various locked gates, etc. EX: Responsible for manning all outer perimeter gates at the cook off that allow our volunteers, visitors and cookers into and out of the BBQ Cook-Off. We also need volunteers to man gates at the Rodeo performances to be sure that all spectators enter and exit through the correct gates.

our guests with locating cooker tents at BBQ, Rodeo events, lost and found,

SENSORY NIGHT - Volunteers are need to assist guest during sensory night - which is always the Thursday night prior to the regular rodeo performances. On this night the rodeo producer runs what is called Slack, which is where the rodeo events take place but without all the noices, music and announcers, etc. We open this night to those with sensory issues that want to see the rodeo but can not handle all the noices, etc.
TICKETING COMMITTEE - Volunteers work at both the Rodeo and BBQ Cook-Off, working the ticket booths. These booths need to be manned constantly so a steady stream of volunteers is necessary.
