For the second year in a row, the WNFR pays a record $10 mil- lion and the barrel racers are running at an amazing $1.1 million. The huge boost in prize money led to 5 barrel racers winning over $100k & 8 barrel racers winning more than $80k at the 2015 WNFR. This was the toughest year in history to make the WNFR in bar- rel racing, in fact it took a record $79,068 just to make the Finals, this was almost $20k more than in 2015. On top of that, world leader Mary Burger became the all time regular season earnings record holder and became the 3rd barrel racer to wear the #1 on her back with her $190,977 in 2016 earnings (others are Charmayne James, 1987, Sherry Cervi, 1995). So it really was a record breaking year in 2016. On that note, Mary Burger will set another record when she runs down the alley Thursday night as being the oldest NFR contestant (either male or female) at 68 yrs old.

    The summaries of the Colorado Court of Appeals published opinions constitute no part of the opinion of the division but have been prepared by the division for the convenience of the reader. The summaries may not be cited or relied upon as they are not the official language of the division. Any discrepancy between the language in the summary and in the opinion should be resolved in favor of the language in the opinion. SUMMARY August 5, 2021 2021COA105 No. 20CA0668, Walker v. Women’s Professional Rodeo Association — Business Organizations — Nonprofit Corporations — Business Judgment Rule A division of the court of appeals considers whether members of a nonprofit corporation that is a membership association are entitled to judicial review of the corporate board’s interpretation and application of the corporation’s internal rules. The division concludes that, in the absence of allegations of fraud, arbitrary conduct, or bad faith, such judicial review is barred by the business judgment rule. The division also determines that although the district court correctly dismissed the appellants’ claims under C.R.C.P. 12(b)(5) and awarded mandatory attorney fees to the appellees under section 13-17-201, C.R.S. 2020, it erred by declining to hold a hearing on the reasonableness of such fees when such a hearing was timely requested by the appellants.
