We began the Founders Memorial Service in January 2000 to memorialize the life and outstanding accomplishments of Nick Petry, longtime Chairman and President of The Western Stock Show Association. The service is held in conjunction with the Fellowship of Christian Cowboys and gives and opportunity for the National Western to read the names of those past members, outstanding supporters of the Association and past volunteers who have passed on since our last show.
