2 0 1 3 WE BUCK ’EM THEN SELL ’EM! December 5th & 7th (Thursday & Saturday) $ South Point Casino, Las Vegas 5 wnfrbuckingstocksale.com Proceeds benefit the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, various charities and scholarships. The Legacy of Benny Binion The Binion Family are proud to sponsor the 2013 Benny Binion’s World Famous Bucking Horse and Bull Sale in honor of Benny Binion. Hopefully the Legacy of Benny Binion will live on in Las Vegas and in the world of rodeo, as he was instrumental in bringing the National Finals Rodeo to Las Vegas in 1985. With the move came a large increase in the cowboy’s purse and fees paid to the stock contractors for bucking horses and bulls. Not only was this a boost to Benny’s cowboy friends, but a boost to Las Vegas, as the WNFR has become one of the top tickets in sports and one of Las Vegas most prestigious and lucrative two weeks of the year. The Binion family are proud of Benny Binion’s accomplishments in promoting rodeo and Las Vegas. The Binion Family are pleased a portion of the proceeds from this sale go to the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in which Benny Binion was honored by being inducted in 1988 in the company of so many friends, heroes and rodeo greats (including Granddaughter Mindy’s husband Clint Johnson, World Champion Saddle Bronc Rider, inducted in 1992). Please visit the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and see 100 years of the colorful history of rodeo and the spirit of the cowboys are preserved there. Thank you PRCA Stock Contractors for allowing us to be a part of the World Famous Benny Binion Bucking Horse and Bull Sale featuring the 2013 PRCA Permit Challenge, Bull Classic, and Saddlebronc Futurity.

This event originated from the vision of Mr. Benny Binion and his legacy continues through his family and this event. The total amount of donations from this sale to the ProRodeo Hall of Fame since its inception in 1998 is over $815,000. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of the many valued PRCA Stock Contractors and volunteers for the countless hours each of them puts into this event. The support from all of the people who have purchased stock over the years is greatly appreciated. This annual fundraising event is vital to the overall success of the Hall of Fame and plays an important role in the Hall achieving its goals. A special thanks to the Stock Contractors, who above and beyond their normal contribution from the proceeds of last year’s sale, also contributed an additional $4,000 for the Hall of Fame to develop a traveling exhibit and display. It was their intent to assist the Hall of Fame in gaining more public awareness not only during the WNFR but at other events and activities we attend each year. We are happy to announce that with additional support from the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, the ProRodeo Hall of Fame is rolling out its new portable exhibit at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo this year! The ProRodeo Hall of Fame is especially grateful to Trustee member Mr. Michael Gaughan and the South Point Hotel and Casino for hosting this event in their wonderful Equestrian Center. We are very proud to call the South Point Equestrian Center our home for the 2013 Benny Binion Bucking Horse and Bull Sale. Thanks to all for making this event a huge success for the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy. With Sincere Thanks and Appreciation, Kent L.
