WPRA News June 2023

IN THE NEWS WPRA Montana Silversmiths 75th Anniversary Pendant Now On Sale Montana Silversmiths has long been the leader in the western industry in commemorating momentous events from world championships to significant milestones, so when the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association wanted to commemorate their 75th Anniversary they turned to their longtime partner. Together they designed a LIMITED EDITION WPRA 75th pendant that is now on sale through the WPRA’s Official Store. “We are excited to offer this limited-edition pendant to all our members and fans,” said Hannah Miller, WPRA Partnership Manager. “This was a fun piece to put together with our great partners at Montana Silversmiths to commemorate and celebrate 75 years of the oldest women’s sports organization in the world.” What a perfect combination with both entities celebrating milestones in 2023. Montana Silversmiths’ 50 years of silver artistry is nothing short of extraordinary. Since 1973, Montana Silversmiths has been fueled by a passion for the Western Lifestyle and their jewelry and buckles have the authentic flavor of the West. Each piece combines silver artistry and masterful engraving into brilliant lines of storytelling. “Montana Silversmiths has been commemorating significant events for our customers for the last 50 years in silver artistry,” stated Callie Adams, Director of Events. “It’s very important to us to spotlight our partnerships and anniversaries with this collaboration as we celebrate WPRA’s milestone with a custom 75th Anniversary necklace.” Style and fashion played a big part in rodeos agreeing to add the women back in the beginning in the late 40s and 50s, and those features are illustrated in this commemorative pendant. More than accessories, they are stories and reflections on how far the association has come in 75 years. What started with 48 women has grown into an association of over 3,000 members built for women, by women. Together the WPRA and Montana Silversmiths look to continue crowning world champions for decades to come.
