COWBOY KEEPER AWARD

Each year since 2006, the National Day of the Cowboy 501(c)3 has selected individuals and organizations that have contributed significantly to the preservation of pioneer heritage and cowboy culture, to receive its Cowboy Keeper Award.

The award was conceived in support of the NDOC’s mission to increase awareness for and celebration of the National Day of the Cowboy.

The esteemed recipients of the 2012 Cowboy Keeper Award are; Chris LeDoux, Cowgirls Historical Foundation, J.R. Sanders, Susan Thomas, and the Will James Society.

Incidentally, one of the recipients of the 2009 Cowboy Keeper Award was yours truly.
