Welcome to the 44th Annual Bighorn Rendezvous and Banquet! We have an exciting event this year, with special guest Gray Thornton from the Wild Sheep Foundation and another Life Member sheep hunt drawing! We are very excited about our new venue at the Embassy Suites Loveland Hotel Conference Center, with nearly unlimited space and opportunity!
We will be conducting our second Life Member sheep hunt giveaway Saturday night! One lucky life member in attendance will win an Alaska dall sheep hunt with Mike Colpo and Lazy J Bar O Outfitters! Be sure to upgrade to a life membership on the membership page when you finish registering.
This year the Life Member brunch has been replaced by a Friday evening Life Member social hosted by Jeff and Jann Demaske! If you enjoyed the 2018 Friday Evening Social and “Sheep Mountain”, you won’t want to miss this! Join us for an evening of cocktails, appetizers, door prizes and more at the Demaske trophy room – 15,000 square feet of trophies and art from around the world. The social is free to life members; all others can purchase tickets for $25. Transportation will be available from Embassy Suites.
A room block is available both Friday and Saturday night at the Embassy Suites, at the rate of $138/night. Book online at this link and use group code BGR by clicking "Add special rate codes." Or you may book by calling 970-612-2440 and referencing the Bighorn Rendezvous. This block will be released on April 4, so book early! There are several other very reasonably priced hotels nearby.
If you registered youth 15 or younger, please make sure we have their name, age, and boy or girl so that we have them on the list for the youth program and raffle. You may confirm that we have this information by replying to your registration confirmation email. You may also choose to upgrade a children's registration (15 and under) to an adult meal for an additional $25 payable at the door the day of the event. Please let us know by replying to your registration confirmation email.
