Silver & Gold Cup Barrel Futurity Date & Venue Changes Slated for 2008
Norman, OK – After much consideration, XL Enterprises, LLC, owner of the Silver & Gold Cup Barrel Futurities, has booked new dates and venues for their two events. The Hardy Murphy Coliseum in Ardmore, Oklahoma will be the new home of the Silver Cup, which will run March 5-9, 2008. The Gold Cup will be returning to the Heart of Oklahoma Expo Center in Shawnee, OK, which was the original venue of the Silver & Gold Cup, and running April 15-19, 2008, the week prior to the B.B.R. World Finals.
According to Robin Hofmann, she was put in a position where moving the Silver Cup to a new date and location became a necessity. After a full day of research, discovery & discussion, Pat and I made the decision to move both barrel races. “I am the eternal optimist and always looking on the bright side…what’s that saying…when life hands you a basket full of lemons, make lemonade? There are a number of positive aspects for the contestants in moving the Silver Cup, which include Hardy Murphy and their staff being very barrel racer friendly, better ground in the arena, all the stalls have dirt floors, large covered warm up arena, easy access to barns & stalls from the competition area and for unloading and loading, room to ride outside, lots of trailer parking, 75 new R.V. hookups are being installed, more stalls are currently being constructed, better food in the concession stand, close proximity to hotels & restaurants and it’s just plain easy to get to from I-35,” Hofmann explained. “The decision to move the Gold Cup was purely due to input from contestants and economics. I personally had a great experience working with the Lazy E in 2007.”
