At the final rodeo of the season, the CWWRA board presented checks to two worthy recipients. Each year the CWWRA holds its Tough Enough to Wear Pink Rodeo and a portion of the proceeds are presented at the last rodeo to the Calaway Young Cancer Center. This year we are pleased to present them with a check for $5,000. The Roaring Fork Highschool Boys Basketball team helped with parking this rodeo season. They have done it for many. We are proud to present them with a check for $2,000 for their efforts.

Mike and Jayme Goscha presented the Trent Goscha Sportsmanship Award to Peter Grange at the final Carbondale Wild West Rodeo of the season. Peter is a long time arena volunteer at the rodeo. Peter does every task with a smile on his face and is a huge encourager of the younger set in the Mutton Bustin' and Calf Scramble. You won't hear Peter complain and he's always quick to offer a helping hand to anyone in need. Peter is a good sport and can always be seen at Hawaiian Night wearing a grass skirt, bright floral shirt and lei on his cowboy hat.
