3 First presented in 1961, the Museum s Western Heritage Awards were established to honor and encourage the legacy of those whose works in literature, music, film and television reflect the significant stories of the American West. The awards program also recognizes inductees into the prestigious Hall of Great Western Performers and the Hall of Great Westerners, as well as the recipient of the Chester A. Reynolds Memorial Award, named in honor of the Museum s founder. Each honoree receives a Wrangler, an impressive bronze sculpture of a cowboy on horseback. Celebrity emcee and award presenters add to the event s glamour. Festivities kick off the night before with the Jingle Jangle Mingle, arguably the best social event on the Western culture calendar.
