Everyone at the SPRA office would like to say thank you to all of our members. This year is already off to a wonderful start!!!

This publication is something we have been working on for several months. Its purpose is to keep all of our members, especially those that do not use the internet, up-to-date. However, the web site will list the most current news as this will only be a quarterly publication sent to all members.

Stock contractors are working hard to add more rodeos to the schedule. Contestants must compete in at least five rodeos and be in the top 15 to qualify for the 2012 SPFR. This year the top High School money winner in each event will also compete at the SPFR. An All-Around Champion will also be awarded.
