Announcement: Art of the Cowboy Makers - winners

[Casey Jordan]

I have been waiting for pictures and dates for next years contest to post the results. The dates are still not confirmed yet but it will not conflict with Sheridan.
Also we will be adding one more category - Leather carving! The first year all entries will be making a legal pad binder, that way everyone will be working with the same size item. I will post details when we have the dates confirmed.

We would like to thank all our sponsors and contestants of this years contest. For those of you who could not be there in person it was very stiff competition in ALL categories. There were several categories that were very close. We will have pictures up on our website soon. Congratulations to all winners! 2010 Art of the Cowboy Makers winners:
