More options and frigid ‘Stock Show weather’ embraced during the 16 days of the 118^th NWSS

Submitted by Cindy Mangus, CCW NWSS Chair

With more days and options offered, the Colorado Beef Council and Colorado CattleWomen beef promotion booth experienced one of the quickest and most successful signups in several years. The full 16 days were initially offered to the CattleWomen and by January 3^rd we had 22 of the 32 shifts with volunteers.  Despite the weather, road conditions and family emergencies we had groups and individuals adjusting and covering. 

Along with more days to choose from we offered participants a choice between the reimbursement of expenses or an honorarium payment of $240.00 per group per shift.  These changes and additions were well received and commented on.

A huge thank you to all who participated!
