Big Four comes together in Las Vegas
The Big 4 Rodeos celebrated the completion of their 58th rodeo season at a reception held November 30, 2011 in the Brunswick Room at the South Point Casino & Resort in Las Vegas Nevada. Big 4 Rodeo Committees from the Pendleton Round-Up, Walla Walla Frontier Days, Lewiston Round-Up and Ellensburg Rodeo entertained special friends, contract service providers, and a long list of guest rodeo committee members from across the nation. The reception is held annually in conjunction with the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association National Convention and the beginning of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Two of the PRCA’s top competitors, and 2011 WNFR qualifiers, were presented with cash awards, by the Big 4 Rodeos, during the reception.
Utah saddle bronc rider, Cody Wright, was the 2011 Big 4 Rodeos Award Winner. He was presented a $4,000 award check which he received with his wife and children by his side. This award is presented annually to the contestant with the most PRCA point total having competed in all four partner rodeo events.
Trevor Brazille, from Decatur Texas, was presented a $5,000 check as the winner of the Big 4 Rodeo Compilation Award. “Thank you” said Brazille, “It is a very special award and we really look forward to it.” In 2010 Brazille won his third Big 4 Rodeos Award, which allowed him to claim the Compilation Award prize money
The 2011 Big 4 Rodeo’s provided a total cash payout of $1,195,874 within a two week period from September 2nd through the 17th.
Good luck to Cody Wright and Trevor Brazille as they begin their Wrangler National Finals Rodeo competition tonight (December 1, 2011) at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
