anything. If you see me, please do not hesitate to introduce yourself. I look forward to meeting many of you for the first time as well as seeing those of you I already know. I want to take this opportunity to remind you again that two Gold Plus members who rope together and beat the Challenge, held in Barn 6 at the OKC Fairgrounds, each win $3,000 Flex earnings which can be used in any Shoot-Out division at 2010 Cinch NFTR. I have spoken with many of you who are worried you do not have enough Flex Earnings to preenter Shoot-Out divisions so
this is a great opportunity for you. If you decide to enter a Shoot-Out division with Flex Earnings won at the challenge arena, you or your partner are not required to pay a late fee. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
