Colorado State 2006

Our 23rd Annual Colorado State Championship was held on June 24th, 2006 in Grand Lake. Starting on Friday night we had a gathering / cooks party at the beach park at the lake. We were pleased to have about 20 people show up for this and received some good comments so I think we will do it again next year.
 
Our thanks to everyone that brought items for the Silent Auction again this year. The Fire Department was not able to collect many things this year due to a lot of their members being out of town helping on the many forest fires that were going on around the state. Once again you all did a great job bringing things to help out and I know it is appreciated by the Fire Department and it really helps raise a lot more money for the charity. Once again we were generous hosts for our out of state visitors allowing them to take 8 of the top ten places. Congratulations to our Colorado State top finishers and automatic qualifiers for the Terlingua International Championship, Brent Leonard, Amy Hardesty and Linda Wilkinson.  Karen Hendricks and her “God Bless America” team took first place in showmanship which qualifies them also for Terlingua in November. When all is said and done I believe everyone had a great time
