by (Gallup, NM) – On October 14th the City of Gallup, New Mexico presented a proclamation proclaiming November 1st as Kassidy Dennison Day.
Dennison, a champion barrel racer, recently qualified for the 2014 National Finals Rodeo and in doing so became the first Navajo barrel racer to qualify for the NFR.
Kassidy is a five time Indian World Champion All Around Cowgirl and in 2013 she was the Indian World Champion Barrel Racer. In 2011, Kassidy became the first Native American Woman to be named to the Classic Equine Brand team with her horse Sierra Hall of Fame (Eagle).
In a statement released about the proclamation Dennison said, “Thank you to the City of Gallup— Mayor Jackie McKinney, City Councilors Linda Garcia, Allan Landavazo, Yogash Kumar and Cecil Garcia, for honoring my accomplishments by proclaiming November 1st–Kassidy Dennison Day! I am grateful to be an ambassador of The City of Gallup, the surrounding communities, The Navajo Nation and the State of New Mexico.”
I would like to invite all my family, fans and supporters and sponsors to my “2014 WNFR Send Off Dinner” that will be held in Gallup, NM on November 1st, 3:00 o’clock, downtown at Sammy C’s. I love you all and thank you for the amazing support. It’s been a very humbling dream and I’m glad I can share it with all of you!!
