It is your responsibility to come and get the award certificates. You may then take it to the official photographer s booth and choose your picture. If you have any questions, please check in the rodeo office. You will need the following information if you should make it to National s: Your social security number, the length and power needs of your trailer if you intend to camp in Gillette, the number of stalls you will be needing, and your check book. Both of your parents will need to be there to appear before the notary, unless one parent has full custody of you or one is deceased. You will need these things to complete your National Team Paperwork. They cannot wait until the next day. Put them in your trailer now so you have them, hopefully you will need them! If you are a National Qualifier we will once again be using the system as last year to complete the required National Team paperwork. There will be a camper/trailer on the rodeo grounds by the office that will be staffed, beginning Thursday afternoon, with personnel to help you get registered for National s correctly. This means that the Cutters should come, with your parents and your checkbook, and do this on Thursday. In doing this the Awards Ceremony and Meeting can be run more efficiently and take less time. Other event Qualifiers may come as soon as their event has been tallied and the National Qualifiers are posted from Saturday Night s Final Round. In doing so as soon as you can, you will be able to be on the road home much quicker after pictures are taken at the National Meeting. You are still required to attend the National Meeting Sunday morning at 8:30 am. The National Registration will move up to the Belle Fourche Area Community Center for the awards ceremony Sunday morning.
