2024 ALL COWBOY & ARENA CHAMPIONS
HALL OF FAME
Contestants Induction Ceremony
One always runs the risk of omitting
people, but we do need to recognize those who are instrumental
in making the All Cowboy & Arena Champions Hall of Fame (ACACHOF)
event happen. Also, we need to thank the staff at the YO Ranch
Hotel & Conference Center. Their facility is classic to a cowboy
gathering, and their staff is certainly top of the line. Thank
you all!
And those associated with ACACHOF who contributed
much are:
|

|
|
|
|
|
O.D. Anderson
Founder of ACACHOF
|
|
Robert Anderson
Master of Ceremonies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ronny Collins
Event Coordinator
|
|
Kelly Wells (L) & Teri Collins (R)
Greeters & Registrars
|
|
|
The meeting began Friday evening
with a relaxing social gathering as the Inductees, their families
and event attendees began arriving at the YO Hotel. We're not sure
we could find a facility which complimented the cowboy and rodeo
life better than the YO Hotel! |
