COSTUME CONTESTS
Welcome to the Costume Contests at teh 31st Annual END of TRAIL! For over three decades, costuming has been a major factor in maintaining END of TRAIL's uniqueness as a shooting competition. Costuming creates both the environment and shared attitude that sets the tone for camaraderie unequaled in other shooting events. Becasure costuming is such an important aspect of our sport and is ebraced with much effort and fervor by so many members, our costume winners have consistently shared honors with our shooters.

Some changes and updates have been made to the costume contests at the 31st Annual END of TRAIL. This year, the Best Dressed Costume Judging and Awards will be held Thursday night, June 21st. Judging will take place in the GEM Saloon and Awards will be given later that evening in the Belle Union Saloon. All other costume awards will be given Friday night, June 22nd.
