Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame seeks nominations for 2009 Legacy AwardsMontana The Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame is seeking nominations for its second round of inductions for the 1860-1920 Legacy Awards to honor those historical figures that have had an impact on Montana's Western Heritage. One inductee from each of 12 districts across the state will become this class of the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame. The first round of Legacy Awards, voted on by the MCHF Trustees in 2008, honored cowboys, cowgirls, establishments, organizations, outlaws and a horse. The 51 inductees served as the Foundational Members of the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame. Notable inductees include Sitting Bull, Evelyn Cameron, the N Bar N Ranch, Charles M. Russell, Plenty Coups, Granville Stuart, Nelson Story and Grant Kohrs. This year's nominees can be men, women, ranches, stage coach lines, animals, hotels--anything or anyone who made their mark in the state of Montana before 1920, no matter the year of death or closure. An unlimited number of nominations may come from within each district but only one will receive the honor. If you would like to make a nomination, please contact your District Trustee Chairman for instructions. Nominations must be received by Nov. 1. All nominations must be approved by the District Chairman and will be forwarded to the MCHF Board of Directors Trustee Committee in Wolf Point for final approval. The approved nominations will be compiled for a vote by the trustees at the 3nd Annual Trustees Gathering to be held at the Great Northern Best Western Hotel in Helena, Feb. 7, 2009. The MCHF Legacy Awards will be a non-ceremonial honor announced by press release no later than July 2009. Next of kin or an establishment representing the award recipient will receive a MCHF certificate. For more information on the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center or the Legacy Awards, please contact Christy Stensland at the MCHF and WHC by calling 406-653-3800 or visit www.montanacowboyfame.com. 10/13/08 Date: 10/3/08
