P O W E L L, W y o. - The Northwest College Rodeo Council invites the Big Horn Basin to its ninth annual Rodeo Gala Saturday, Feb. 3, at the Cody Auditorium.
The event starts with a 5:30 p.m. social hour, followed by a prime rib dinner at 6:30 p.m. A traditional auction and a silent auction give gala goers an opportunity to bid on western art works and other valuable items.

The annual gala is sponsored by the Northwest Rodeo Council in support of the NWC Rodeo Team, which is currently ranked fourth in the Big Sky Region. Funds raised during the event are used to help underwrite the team's travel costs, scholarships and special schooling.
Tickets are available at the door, or in advance by calling NWC Rodeo Coach Del Nose at (307) 527-6905. Couples pay $50; single tickets cost $30.
