Explanation of Fees for a Cancelled Rodeo:

As per the 2016 cancelled rodeo at Nanton, it was established that there still needs to be
office/admin fees charged so that the Rodeo Committee and the CSPRA Office, who both
have put in a lot of work prior to the rodeo(s), can help to partially pay for costs incurred.

$13.80 was charged to each entered contestant
($5.00/Committee office fee, $8.50/CSPRA office/admin fee, $.30/GST)

When the rodeo package is returned to the CSPRA office, all contestant receipts will be reviewed to  
verify these additional charges were correct, and if needed refunds will be made at that time.


                                                                         the CSPRA and Mother Nature, thank you for your understanding! 



-----------------------------------------------------



PLEASE NOTE:

All CSPRA Rodeos have a "Cowboy Attire" dress code
anytime while in the arena, competing or not:

Collared, cuffed, long-sleeve shirt, western cowboy hat and boots.
(with exception being a ribbon runner who may wear other footwear and no cowboy hat)Thank You


------------------------------------------------------------



$$$
And for anyone wondering about Rodeo Payouts...

...the rodeo committee has four days to get their completed rodeo
package into the CSPRA office; we then verify all paperwork and
either do an etransfer or mail out a cheque with your winnings.

**If you wish to switch from cheques to etransfers (which is much quicker and more
reliable than Canada Post) please let me know your email address to send to.
