Drago SASS #2995L Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Well, here we are again…WADDIE sign-up time. It’s posted on the End of Trail 2007 events page. I guess you should know this by now from the post on the wire by my good friend FancyFree. (She’s always so anxious and full of ..Spirit!) If you’re interested in put’n in a lot of hours and get’n paid a small amount then being a Waddie for the End of Trail 2007 event is just your game! I already have several applications, and like past years it amazes me, that SASS members (returning Waddies too) want to work as hard as they do for so little…but, maybe it’s not so little…sure, it’s hard work, long hours, not much pay and the foods so-so, but the friendship is beyond compare. Sign up make some new friends, re-new old friendships and be a part of the event’s success. A dollar-a-Day?,…. who cares…we usually give it away to one of the charities attending the event anyway. Click on the Waddie application link on the End of Trail events page, you’ll be directed to the details about being a Waddie and the application. Also note that it mentions past Waddie Spirit award recipients, Travis and I cannot say enough about the vivacity and enthusiasm of the past winners…….. A BIG thank you to all of them.

LayLow Curly 57501L Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hola Drago, First drink for the waddies is on me. Seems like the traveling Margarita wagon will be back in New Mexico this year. Waddies, if you have any special requests let me know & I'll pass them on to our pro bartender Pepper. We usually have a great time and last year Cap'n Cooper won "Best dressed Waddie" year before it was Col DVS Fox. Sign up, work hard and have fun!

FancyFree#23612L Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Hey Boss, Thanks for the THANKS. I have been a Waddie for oh my gosh, 7 years,and what Drago said is true,it ain't the dollar,sure ain't the food, it is the Friendships that you can't get anywhere else.I have met people from all over the world and I wouldn't trade any of them years for anything! I love it! Cuz, where else can I go to be able to tell cowboys where to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 The applications have started coming in and even CHIZ says he'll waddie! If you are interested in volunteering your services day or night please let Drago know as soon as possible. As a waddie you get paid and fed, a nice waddie gift and an End of Trail pin. Sometimes there are other perks, but you have to be a waddie to find out. There is plenty of work to be done before, during and after End of Trail so sign up today, or tomorrow, but don't delay!

Guest Tom Muley, SASS #27759 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Travis, don't let Chiz sign-up, you'll never find him when you need him. Muley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FancyFree#23612L Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Travis, I have a very important question about Chiz being a Waddie. does his signing up mean I can tell him where to go ? Love to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Chiz did send in an application as a "joke" and to "test" the application process, therefore you can only tell him what you would any other day. Knowing the lady that you are, you will be polite, friendly and oh so kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footloose 1797L Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Can Chiz qualify to be a WADDIE ???? Would Chiz work for a dollor a day? Will Drago accept his application? Footloose (who just wants to know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Chiz said he would help you put water and ice out every morning for the range, work all day and close the Belle Union every night. No questions asked and for the going wages. The bridge in New York is only $29.95, taxes included. and I'm (Drago) borrowing Travis' e-mail to post this..........

Travis Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I know everyone is just making fun of Chiz because he has a warm, caring and giving soul. We just know he will not forget how much his friends and hard working volunteers struggle to make every End of Trail better then the next.

Guest Tom Muley, SASS #27759 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Travis and Drago, I'm thinking of doing the 'waddie' thing this year, got any interesting jobs for this old washed-up cowpoke? I think you all know my skills and places to hide me, so my ugly looks don't scare to many folk. Muley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tom Muley, SASS #27759 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I would like to come again and play with you all, but me thinks time is running out. I'm not ready to commit and finding a place to stay this late in the game is going to be impossible. Cost wise I'm not sure it is worth being a 'waddie', for $55 I can come and go as I please and I won't have to do any work. Or, I could come out and see what is new on Saturday for the price of daily admission. I'm so ........................confused on what to do. Muley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 It's your call Tom but you are always welcome. I know the price of travel, room and board is not covered by the $1.00 a day salary. If you can't make it we will miss you, however if you can visit then stop by the shack and we'll buy you a cup of coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tom Muley, SASS #27759 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hey Travis, to help me decide I need to know what dates I'm needed, what will I be doing, and what I need to bring (or what you guys would like). I do need a space for my RV that is close (can't walk very much anymore). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 You are needed whenever you can work, but I can't say what or where at this point. Drago has the main list and he is trying to establish assignments still. However, I understand the chuckwagon support area has already been filled. But there are more choices left. Go to the EOT site and on the lower left side is a spot to sign up as a waddie. Look at the list of jobs and put in the day(s) you can work in an area or two you are interested in working. Additionally, if you are interested in working with the mounted shooters, contact Nuevo Mike. He may be able to add you to the mounted arena support list. As for RV space, waddies camp in an assigned area and there are trams if you are not close enough or need a lift to/from town. I hope that helps. If not you can contact Drago or me for additional information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
