Latest Chapter News

Wednesday, May 31, 2006

First, we must take a moment to thank all who volunteered this past weekend at our Rodeo Work Party and at our Parking Lot Rodeo School & BBQ. Thank you Ben, Terry, Gregg, Allen, Skot, Doug, Chris, Dougie, Dave, and John for all your efforts. Without volunteers like you, we wouldn't exist!

Tomorrow is June 1st which means Pride Month is here. It's a great month for the chapter with two great pride festivals in store. And it's also a great month for everyone to get involved. The pride activities are fun--it's a wonderful chance for us to all hang out together--but they can't happen without bodies. We need help staffing our bucking machine and booth in San Jose, we need help building our float for the San Francisco parade, and will of course want all of you to join us in that parade. Let us know right away if you can help out... and stay tuned for complete details.

Now, on with this week's news...

Thursdays @ Sundance Saloon - Beginning Tomorrow

Attendance at Sundance Saloon on Sunday nights has been skyrocketing and it became clear to the wonderful team there that it was time to find a second night for country-western dancing in the city. Through the tremendous efforts of their committed volunteers, they are are proud to announce that Sundance Saloon will now happen every Thursday as well as every Sunday beginning on June 1st. Join them on the 1st at 6:30 pm for a very special grand opening reception. 550 Barneveld, San Francisco.

San Jose Pride Parade & Festival - June 10th & 11th

The chapter will return once again to participate in the San Jose Pride festivities. We'll have our Mighty Broncy bucking machine in the festival area both Saturday June 10th and Sunday June 11th--always a very popular attraction. We encourage you to help out in the festival area either Saturday or Sunday. To volunteer and for more information, please contact us right away by emailing news@bayarearodeo.com

We're Calgary Bound!
Canadian Rockies International Rodeo
June 30th - July 2nd

The Bay Area Chapter invites you to make your travel plans, reserve your RV, send in your contestant entry forms, and join everyone for a very special trip to Alberta for the Calgary Gay Rodeo. With the many hundreds of people camping in tents and RVs right at the rodeo grounds, and with the many hundreds more locals that come in from town by bus for the parties, this is always one of the most unique and enjoyable rodeos on the IGRA circuit. And, as a further incentive, the chapter has set aside a "travel fund" to help offset the travel costs and/or contestant entry fees for all Bay Area Chapter members who go. For more information, visit http://www.bayarearodeo.com/Events/calgary-rodeo.html

If you're planning on attending the Calgary Rodeo, please let us know right away so that we can include you in the details.
