Dockery, Brown named to Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame

The Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame (WCHF) Board of Directors conducted annual business meetings May 20 and 21 in Casper. All current WCHF officers were voted in for another four-year term.

Plans were outlined for the fourth annual WCHF Honoree Induction and associated events, and the Class of 2017 WCHF Honorees was selected. Among those chosen from Region 8, which includes Hot Springs County, are Carl Obe Dockery and Ernest Nathan “Nate” Brown.

The process of selection was begun by committees in ten geographic regions across the state soon after nominations closed. The WCHF sends each nomination to the county from which it was submitted, where regional honorees are chosen by their respective committees. Nominees ranked at the top in each county are again reviewed during the state board meeting.

Successful candidates and their nominators have been notified electronically and received their invitations to the 2017 WCHF Induction Ceremony and festivities, scheduled for Saturday, September 23 and Sunday, September 24 in Casper.

Forty-five men and two women comprise WCHF's Class of 2017 Honorees.
