Official Statement on Mutton Bustin' - Online Sign-up Technical Difficulties

Dear Community Members,

Unfortunately, we experienced technical difficulties with the online sign-up process for the Mutton Bustin' event this morning. As a result, all entries submitted today are not valid. We want to ensure a fair opportunity for everyone to participate and understand the inconvenience this has caused. We sincerely apologize for any frustration.

We have resolved the issue and will be reopening the registration tomorrow, Tuesday 7/30 at 10 am, starting fresh. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all participants.
