The best entertainment value all week long for you & your family!

PBR Bull Riding...Live Music...Fireworks & Carnival...Working Ranch Rodeo

Annual Stampede art show kicks off June 22 The Stampede Western Invitational Art Exhibit and Sale kicks off its 17th annual event with the Opening Night Gala 5:30 p.m. June 22 at the Island Grove Events Center lobby (425 N. 15th Ave.). Tickets can be reserved in advance for $40.00 each or $60.00 after June 17. The event will provide patrons with the first opportunity to purchase the displayed art, as well as meet the attending artists. After the fixed priced sale, there will be a buffet and a live auction of quick draw artwork and other pieces that were donated by the artists. Proceeds of the live auction will benefit the Stampede Foundation scholarships. In honor of the Stampede Western Invitational founding members,

two $1,000 scholarships designated as The Holland and Ketterling Scholarships, will be awarded during the Gala. Weld County high school and college aged student artists are eligible to participate and compete for the awards. The winners will be announced at the opening night gala and their work displayed throughout the art show. The exhibit is open to more than 220,000 Stampede visitors each year, and has sold over $1,000,000 of art throughout the past 16 years. Not only is this show a fantastic cultural and programming addition to the Greeley Stampede, but it serves an educational purpose as well. The net proceeds will benefit Stampede Foundation scholarships that are awarded to Weld County high school

seniors each year. The Stampede Western Invitational Art Exhibit and Sale sponsored by First National Bank runs during the Greeley Stampede June 23th through July 4th, and is open until 9:00 pm daily. It will be free with park admission. The show portrays our rich history showcasing western paintings and sculptures. Visitors are encouraged to browse the diverse range of art exhibits.

It’s all fun and games ‘til... Innovation at the rodeo keeps athletes safe so fun can continue BY RUTH NICOLAUS

he cowboys and cowgirls at the Buffalo Bill Rodeo in North Platte are about to get some big help. The Great Plains Health Sports Medicine Team will bring its new mobile medical trailer to each night of the Buffalo Bill Rodeo, June 15-18.

The trailer is used by athletic trainers and doctors at a variety of sporting events, and for four days in June, it’ll be alongside the Wild West Arena. The trailer, staffed by athletic trainers and clinicians Tyler Oberlander, Destri Millsap and Doug Long and by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Nathan A. Jacobson, has been used most frequently by the Mid-Plains Community College rodeo team at five of their intercollegiate rodeos in the Great Plains region this spring. In five weeks, the athletic trainers and doctors and the trailer, traveled 4,200 miles and saw 271 patients. There’s a definite need for the medical trailer at rodeos, Oberlander said, and a special need for medical staff who understand the idiosyncrasies of the sport. Oberlander, a 2013 South Dakota State University graduate, has covered rodeo for the last four years, and he’s familiar with the different injuries that occur with each event and how to prepare for and prevent those injuries. A good example, Oberlander said, was from a college rodeo in late April, at which the MPCC team competed. A bareback rider got bucked off, hit his head on his equipment and got knocked out. He came to as Oberlander and a doctor were caring for him and Oberlander asked if he could feel his extremities. He told them his left arm was numb. Because of Oberlander’s experience with rodeo, he knew that all bareback riders’ riding arms are numb after their ride, so this issue was not related to being knocked unconscious. The arm “is numb whether he’s walking off after an 80 point ride or if he got thrown,” he said. “We expect that, and saved him the ambulance ride.” His knowledge of the sport of rodeo and its injuries is to the advantage of rodeo athletes, Oberlander said. “The biggest thing I can offer contestants is the

experience of covering rodeo. I can save them that unneeded ambulance ride, that unneeded ER visit.” Seeing Oberlander and the doctors in the Great Plains trailer also starts a relationship with contestants, Oberlander said. “Rodeo people are nomadic and they tend to go wherever the professionals they trust are. If the doctor is willing to drive and hang out at the rodeos, then obviously he gets it, and people are willing to trust him,” he said. Pro rodeo cowboys and cowgirls will utilize the trailer to tape up, massage and use different techniques to prepare before they

compete to prevent injury, and the Great Plains team is also on hand in case of injury. ❖ ••• The Buffalo Bill Rodeo is June 15-18 at the Wild West Arena, with about 500 cowboys and cowgirls competing for more than $100,000 in prize money. Tickets for the rodeo are on sale online at nebraskalanddays.com, at the nebraskalanddays office at 2801 Charlie Evans Drive (at the Wild West Arena in North Platte), and at the gate.

Cheyenne Frontier Days releases economic impact study on 2015 event Cheyenne Frontier Days refreshed an economic impact study to quantify the economic benefits generated from visitors outside of Laramie County to the City of Cheyenne and Laramie County. Dean Runyan Associates, of Portland, Ore., conducted the research using data generated from the 2015 event. Dean Runyan Associates has also conducted economic impact research for the Wyoming Office of Tourism. The 2015 edition of the Daddy of ‘em All event was

successful by all measures. A total of 606,194 people attended all combined events during the ten-day celebration and a total of 266,575 tickets were sold. Study data indicated that 149,300 individual and unique attendees came to the event with 125,397 from outside of Laramie County. These numbers are up 18 percent and 9 percent respectively from the 2012 economic impact study. Economic impacts resulting from direct visitor spending surrounding the event totaled

approximately $28 million, which is up from $25 million in 2012. Chief Executive Officer Tom Hirsig said, “We are pleased to report an increased economic benefit to our city and county since the last economic impact study completed in 2012. Our mission is to bring visitors to Cheyenne and Laramie County to support economic well-being for the entire community. We are focused on this priority and delivering results.” -Cheyenne Frontier Days

New Weld extension agent named The Weld County office of Colorado State University Extension announced Amy Lentz the new horticulture/ agriculture extension agent. This position is designed to develop opportunities for education for homeowners, small acreage owners and farmers in the county, according to a news release. Lentz also will coordinate the Weld County Colorado Master Gardener program, which has

about 50 participants in the area. The horticulture/agriculture extension agent is a new position for the Weld office. Previous to Lentz’s hiring, Carrie Shimada held the position, but it was only a part-time job. Keith Maxey, director of Weld County Extension, said since Weld is such a hub for agriculture, it was time to add an ag-specific position, which is why he combined the horticulture position and a new agriculture

position. Lentz, who graduated with a bachelor’s in natural resource conservation and management and a master’s in plant and soil science in horticulture from the University of Kentucky, will begin at Weld County Extension July 1. Her last position was at the Department of Agricultural Sciences at Morehead State University in Morehead, Ky. -Staff reports

crown a grand champion, all made in Nebraska. “We’ve long considered the Nebraska State Fair as the ‘state tournament’ for our state’s young people,” Schleif said. “It’s a showcase of everything that’s great about Nebraska.” The Nebraska State Fair runs Aug. 26-Sept. 5, in Grand Island, Neb. -Nebraska State Fair

Nebraska State Fair Cares program continues in 2016 The Nebraska State Fair recently opened entries for the State Fair Cares program for 2016. The State Fair Cares program is designed to benefit bona fide nonprofit organizations in Nebraska by allowing them premium access to the Nebraska State Fair visitors for solicitation of funds, item collection or program awareness. “Qualifying organizations simply have to go to statefair.org and click on the State Fair Cares icon to begin the process. Once complete, they click

submit and the process is done,” said Shaun Schleif, director of marketing and sponsorships. The winner of last year’s program was the Omaha-based Nebraska Emergency Nurses Association. The organization provides education to all ages regarding injury prevention and healthy choices. Second place went to Goodwill Industries of Greater Nebraska based in Grand Island. Goodwill serves over 1,300 people in greater Nebraska across 55 counties

promoting independence and access to the community, help people to work, support goals of wellness and recovery, teach responsible behavior and provide safe, affordable housing. Like last year, two winners will be chosen from bonafide non-profits with one from communities of 50,000 population and above and another from communities 49,999 population and below. The deadline for entires is 5 p.m. July 15. For more information, go to statefair.org. -Nebraska State Fair

Mitch Carter named CFD rodeo committee chairman earlier this year The Cheyenne Frontier Days General Committee announced Jan. 8, that Mitch Carter is taking the reins as chairman of the CFD Rodeo Committee. A Wyoming native, Carter is a co-owner of Carter Brothers Construction. He is a past president of the South East Wyoming Home Builders Association, and a past state president of the Wyoming Home Builders Association. In 2007, Carter Brothers Construction was chosen for a leadership role in the ABC television program, “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Cheyenne.” Carter has volunteered with the Rodeo Committee since 2001 and was elected to the HEELS organization in 2009. His current volunteer

work is focused on the production of the CFD rodeo performances. “We look forward to working with Mitch and his committee to make the 2016 rodeo the best one yet,” said Bill Berg, CFD General Chairman. “We know he is the right man for this big job.” The Rodeo Committee Chairman is responsible for all aspects of CFD’s nine rodeo performances, all slack events and the Cinch Rodeo Shootout. The committee’s activities include working with stock contractors, announcers, bullfighters, clowns and specialty acts and finally bringing the show to the viewing public. The Rodeo Committee Chairman works year-round

with the governing bodies of professional rodeo the PRCA and WPRA. He also coordinates with CFD’s 1,800 rodeo contestants, keeps the official results, calculates payoffs and issues winnings to contestants. During CFD, the Rodeo Committee manages the Cowboy Hospitality area, coordinates the annual cattle drive that officially kicks off CFD, oversees the Night of Champions Award ceremony, and works with CFD veterinarians to ensure that all livestock receive proper care and responsible treatment.
