We will meet at DEL FRISCO’S DOUBLE EAGLE STEAK HOUSE IN GREENWOOD VILLAGE AT 11:00 for a light lunch and then board our buses for Pueblo at 12:30. Enjoy good food, good music, great companionship, and great fun—and help some very worthy youths! You will also get to spend some quality time with prominent businessmen and women as well as a few political leaders.

FirstBank has joined us as a sponsor this year and is waiving their credit card fees. This means that you can make the $500 contribution online using your credit card. We still accept checks, but many of you wanted to pay with a credit card. The money will go into an eligible 501c3, the Colorado State Fair Express, and then onto the kids. Many of you asked for a receipt from a charitable entity and this year we can provide one.

Coors has graciously agreed to donate hats for all new Rustlers again this year. If you have never attended before, let us know on the registration form and provide your hat size. (There is a table converting inches to hat size on the registration site.)

New Rustlers will also receive a vintage Rockmount Ranch Wear western shirt courtesy of Larry A. Mizel and M.D.C. Holdings/Richmond American Homes—just select your size on the form. We are using the same shirts as last year because they are so gorgeous that it seems a shame to throw them away.

For those who have attended before, but would like a new hat and/or shirt this year, you’ll find the opportunity to purchase them—along with beautiful Denver Rustlers belt buckles—during the registration process.

Registration is again online, and we have some improvements based on your feedback. Please reserve your spots now by going to www.DenverRustlers.org and following the link to the online registration form! If you cannot attend, but would still like to contribute, just visit the registration form and select “Donation Only” or send a check payable to Colorado State Fair Express to the address below.

We are starting a little earlier this year and hopefully we can all be on our buses a bit earlier. The Fair is trying some new things to speed up the sale. We are also having our contest (the game is still a secret) outside the Events Center, right next to the red carpet welcome, with great photo ops for those of you who think you are real cowboys or cowgirls.

Since its inception, the Denver Rustlers have raised over one million dollars for the Champion Junior Livestock Sale, and supported some of Colorado’s finest youth as they showcase their livestock to earn money for their college education. The Denver Rustlers also support the Kids Café, so you can help some great kids and have a GREAT TIME.

We’re looking forward to seeing you and your friends who want to become Denver Rustlers on August 31st!

Sincerely,

Larry A. Mizel, Tim Schultz, Dick Robinson, Gary Levine & Frances Koncilja
