VALENTINES DAY!

Contestants: You must purchase your 2012 membership card in order to keep receiving the Cowboy Times. Keep ahead on the most current news of the T.C.R.A. You will find an application in the January/ February issue of the Cowboy Times.

Once again, it is time to start working on 2012 donations for the finals. Remember, sponsors acquired at the first of the year will receive full advertising benefits from the Cowboy Times. Don’t wait to get your donations as it cuts into a sponsor’s advertising dollars.

“Off Season Special Events”: If interested in holding an off season event please contact the TCRA office or Director to schedule an event. These “Off Season Events” must be approved by the director and these events will charge the 6% sanction fee. At “Off Season Events,” memberships will be sold on site; however, cards must be purchased before competition. Money won at these events will count towards the 2012 standings but will not count towards the All Around. Check the rodeo listings for further information and dates.

Any new rules or amendments will be posted in the Cowboy Times and on the website. The 2010 rulebook is posted on the TCRA website for any information. The 2012 will be posted soon and is at printers.
