Western States Ranch Rodeo Association (WSRRA) is a new "Ranch Rodeo Association for the working man" started by Marc Page, who lives in Woodbridge, CA. He called Mary Williams Hyde to announce this new association, and wants to get the word to all ranch rodeo participants and organizers in the Great Basin that this could be the organization for our region, the one that pulls everyone together to provide sanctioned events and a point tracking system that leads to regional championships at the end of the season. Marc has deliberately structured this organization to not only include working ranch teams but also the average "weekend" cowboy, working men and women. That would make it possible for everyone who loves ranch rodeo to have an opportunity to compete in sanctioned ranch rodeo events. That would be unlike the Working Ranch Cowboys Association (WRCA) which is strictly for full time working ranch folks he tells me. WSRRA will adhere to the same "rules" that you are used to, like no rubber on the horns, no tie-downs etc. We hope that everyone who organizes ranch rodeos will get in touch with Marc and help him shape this organization so that it really works for the region. His number is 916-296-2326 or email him. Check out the WSRRA website.

Les Sweeney of Payette ID, who led the effort to get Henry Harris inducted into the Cowboys of Color Hall of Fame, is searching for Twin Falls-area relatives of Harris. Relatives are invited to contact Sweeney at sweeney@fmtc.com. Sweeney is also looking for Harris' saddle, which is believed to be in the Magic Valley. The saddle was made by D.E. Walker, is a Visalia stock saddle and is probably marked with H or HH on the back. Anyone with information on the saddle is asked to contact Sweeney. Twin Falls, Idaho, January 16, 2009 (09-10)
