Rodeo team Cowboy Christmas set for Saturday

The Montana State University-Northern rodeo teams are hosting their 19th annual Cowboy Christmas fundraiser Saturday.

The annual event will be held in the Armory Gymnasium on the university campus, with no-host cocktails starting at 5 p.m. and the prime rib and shrimp dinner at 6 p.m. Along with dinner and drinks, the evening entertainment will include door prizes, raffles, silent and live auctions and dancing to live music.

Set between the teams’ fall and spring rodeo seasons, Cowboy Christmas is the biggest fundraiser for the Northern men’s and women’s rodeo teams and helps pay for necessities such as scholarships, travel to competition and special training clinics.

Tickets are available today at Stockman Bank, Independence Bank and Norman’s Ranch and Sportswear, or from any Northern rodeo team member. Tickets can also be purchased at the door.

Ticket prices are $40 per person, $300 for a reserve table of six or $400 for a resreve table of eight. Reserved tables come with bottles of wine.

All proceeds benefit the MSU-Northern rodeo teams.
