JOAN
HARMS DISMUKE MEMORIAL AWARD This memorial award was established in memory of Joan Harms Dismuke, long time Corriente breeder and exhibitor, who passed away February 5, 2001. The award is designed to encourage young Corriente members to develop their knowledge of the Corriente breed. At the NACA National Shows, a special judging competition is held for youth 13 and under. Participants judge two classes: a pen of four yearling bulls and a performance class of four team roping animals. Each participant places each class and gives oral reasons for their placings. Participants can enter each year in the judging competition without cost. A
trophy belt buckle is awarded to the top scoring individual in this judging
competition.
"CORRIENTE CLYDE" YOUTH DUMMY ROPING FUND
One of Clyde's many passions was the enjoyment he got from watching and encouraging youngsters to participate in Youth Dummy Ropings at our shows. This fund was created in his name so that excellent trophy belt buckles would always be awarded at NACA National Shows to the roping champions. Each year the fund provides two outstanding buckles for kids who participate in Dummy Roping. Association funds are not used for this program, it is funded solely by donations. To make a donation send a check to NACA and designate it for the "Corriente Clyde" Edmondson Youth Roping Fund. NACA
