2003 Stockmans Auction

Wednesday, February 5, 2003	Ramkota Convention Center
Preview Begins At 5:00 p.m.	Rapid City, South Dakota

Welcome to this select offering. Each year, we work to bring together items that represent a broad range of artistic disciplines. Collector pieces that include the Foundation's Limited Edition Print Series, The Great American Cowboy, are always popular among bidders.

This year, we are especially pleased to offer the third presentation in that Series, “The Clown Jewels,” an original painting by Mick Harrison featuring bullfighting greats, Jerry Olsen, Duane Reichert, Flint Rasmussen, Butch Lehmkuhler and Steve Mowry.

Proceeds from the auction are used to help fund scholarship programs made available to students from the five-state region of North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska and who are seeking post-secondary education in agriculturally related career fields.

Advance bids on items listed below are also being taken. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me at 605-347-2562 or jjohnson@firstwesternbank.com . See you at the auction!
