Reno Rodeo Mercuria World Series of Cutting

Sponsor Package

G Bar M Productions is pleased to bring to Reno, the first-ever Mercuria World Series of Cutting to take place on the West Coast in conjunction with the Reno Rodeo, the “wildest richest rodeo in the west.” The World Series of Cutting was started in 2009 by the National Cutting Horse Association and has already seen great suc-cess held in conjunction with rodeos such as the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and the Calgary Stampede. The World Series of Cutting consists of an Open and Non Pro division cutting horse competition that adds $50,000 in prize money to be paid out to its winners. The final go round of the World Series of Cutting will be held Saturday, June 26th and will be televised by the “Rode to the Winners Circle” on RFD TV.

If you are unfamiliar with cutting horse competition, here are a few things you should know about its participants: 75% are mar-ried, 37% own their own business, the average annual income of an NCHA member is $177,000 with an average net worth of $1.5 million. In 2009, NCHA membership reached an all time high of 20,255 members nationwide. This is an affluent group of people who love the sport of cutting and have money to spend on your product or service. We can help you get it in front of them.

You may already be aware that the Reno Rodeo is the fourth largest PRCA rodeo in the nation and that the Reno Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority estimates the rodeo to have a $32.2 mil-lion dollar impact on the local economy throughout its ten day run in June. It is estimated that there are 135,000 people who wander through the gates of the Reno Livestock Events Center during the Reno Rodeo annually to attend the rodeo, go to the carnival, or take advantage of the extensive western gift show offerings.

The Reno Rodeo cutting has been a popular Reno Rodeo event for 15 years, and we are very excited to add the Mercuria World Series of Cutting to the event lineup in 2010. In addition to the level of exposure your company will receive by becoming a sponsor of this world-class event, you will also be contributing to your local com-munity. G Bar M Productions will donate a portion of the revenue from this event to the Boys and Girls Club of Truckee Meadows.

Please review the following information and do not hesitate to con-tact us with any questions you may have regarding this opportunity. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to working with you.
