Jack Houston # 35508 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 OK, My Wife and Myself spent alot of time and Money making our costumes for the B-Western/Silver Screen Costume Contest on Friday. We were in the late shooting shift which got started late and we finally finished around 5:30, went to change for the contest and couldn't get back by the cutoff of 6:30. Others didn't make it either. This needs to be considered, all the shooting shifts were delayed and the so called schedule wasn't anywhere near what was planned. There should be something done to make sure everyone who wants to enter the costume contests can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sawyer#34250 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I just barely made it to the contest. I know Ringo Fire was also shut out of the B-Western. When the shooting backs up, everything else suffers. Don't have any solutions, just observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camille Eonich SASS # 48444 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 The way they did it last year it wouldn't have been any problem for them to extend the deadline. Maybe they just need to make it start later anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackey Cole Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I had miss read the tiem and thought it started at 7pm. I had already amde plans for Saturday afternoon/evening with a renewal of wedding vows that were help by friends on the ranch. I volunteered to take pictures of the ceremony for them along with tehm having Qugley shoting them also I was to take the informal pictures and did. Got back up to the TT to change and looked at the schedule just to be sure and saw that it ended at 7pm I think it was and only had a few minutes to change and get to the tent so I refrained form showing up. I too thought the contests should have been later for several reasons. One to allow shooters and workers to return to their placeand prepare for the event, have a bite to eat and unwind before having to run striaght in to the contest. Also the twon looke dead every night after 630 everynow and then you would hear a outburst but if the town was open later including the vendors I think more woudl have seen and participated.

Ramblin' Rose SASS #2811 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 BLACKEY, Gosh, I am sorry you were too late for the costume contest but I sure appreciated the pictures you took of our ceremony. it was a lot of fun, Old Man Meadows certainly did his job as best man making sure I didn't change my mind and walk the other way down the aisle. Thanks again, RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Bar, SASS #31921 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 It seems to me that the evening events seem to start a little early for those shooting that last shift no matter which day you shoot it. Maybe the events could start later or at least end later to allow the last shooting shift to participate. Last year I think I missed the reception for life members as I was still getting my guns up the hill to my vehicle when it ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Houston # 35508 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 BTT Would like someone at SASS Office to address this problem! The wife was so upset that she has threatened NOT to go Back to EOT unless this has been fixed! That means If she doesn't go I can't go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. George Baylor SASS#24287L Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Blackey, we waited for you as long as possible. Had you been there, you would have won something, as the military category was under-represented. This has been a recurring problem. There were contestants who couldn't make the main contest back in '03, and nothing has changed in the schedule! I know Tex and Cat know about it. I would suggest, however, that you email Cat and remind her of the problem. And as for anyone else in doubt over whether you should enter one of the costume contests, all I can say is ENTER. Some categories in the Saturday night competition were under-represented. Some in the best shooting costume contest were under-represented. (No scheduling problems there as judging was on 2 days.)

Nothing has changed. If Madd Mountain Mike and Miss Tabitha are the chief judges, I would expect them to stay as late as possible. Last year we stayed until 7:30 PM. I don't see a Classic Cowboy/B-Western contest schedule. That's the group that wouldn't wait last year. If you intend to be a contestant in the Best Dressed Costume Contest and your posse shoots late Saturday, CHANGE POSSES to get on a different shift. Last year CD Tom did a great job at accommodating requests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
