“We are thrilled to have Alamo Hat Company as a sponsor of our Finals.”
said added Billie Franks, the administrator of the WRRA. “Like all cowgirls, our
members love their hats and it is great to have a leading hat company partner
with us in Amarillo. Amarillo became the home of the WRRA finals because the city’s Coors Cowboy Club, (CCC) agreed in 2011 to produce the event for five years because
its members believed that it would become a viable addition to the rodeo
entertainment schedule in Amarillo. The CCC has extensive experience producing
and promoting ranch rodeos and other events in Amarillo.
