The Alberta Outfitters Ball...

We headed to RD yesterday for our annual Outfitters ball. Bren and I usually put it on but opted out last year and it was nice to go and relax. Our new AOA sign. It was nice seeing everyone again...we only see everyone this one time!

Here is John & Larry making some pack boxes as they were forgotten. I loved it....and they worked good!



The pack race begins and our own Shanice joined in going with John's wrangler. The girls came in 3rd.





Here is Tom Vincent and Chester Sands...legends in the back country!

Dewy our president and good friend brought along his cousin Terry Grant also know as the Man Tracker. He did an excellent speech and then we enjoyed a great visit. I am hoping Terry might come to the sale...smile and a wink! Oh and Brenda he told me about dumping you in the snow!!! smile








Fred Miller (the cowboy in the red silk scarf) and his wife joined us. Fred is a cowboy poet and mule man extraordinaire. He wrangles by Cutt Off and we see him most of the summer.


Tom with his back to me and Hank Peterson.
Terry Grant took my camera and went on a walk about with it! smile


Our good friends Catherine and Neil from Cody Wyoming...they were not impressed with the weather! Great seeing you two and see you next winter!



With a great night of fun and activities with everyone we went for brunch at the Capri...was excellent and if your ever in RD...GO! yummy














Shanice fell asleep on the way back to Rocky....to much fun!












As the sunset and we arrived back at the ranch...we thought a ride was in order. My face is still cold...ack!
