Ten Sleep Tribute 2025

This year, being the 10th year we have offered the Forever Cowgirl Scholarship and

commemorative Montana Silversmiths buckle award, was special in that we not only

awarded one, but 4 scholarships (and the one special buckle)!! Local Wyoming

cowgirls submitted their essays on why they desired this award and thanks to many

donations in Joslyn’s grandfather’s honor, the Forever Cowgirl committee was able to

award more than one scholarship.

​

The Fourth of July celebration was the ideal time to coordinate the awards so that the

winners could be recognized in the parade and at the rodeo.

Gathering the cowgirls and their parents, friends and siblings to the shelter at Vista Park

on July 3rd, proved to be a happy celebration and we were proud to introduce our

winners;

​

Congratulations to Savanna Schwenke, age 17 from North Four Mile Creek Horse

Ranch, Gillette, daughter of Mark and Tiffany Schwenke and granddaughter of Tut

Camblin (2025 Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame) won the scholarship and buckle.

She aspires to continue ranching with family and attend clinics to learn more

horsemanship skills. She is a member of FFA, 4H and

both the National High School and Little Britches Rodeo Associations. Savanna carried

the Forever Cowgirl flag in the Ten Sleep parade and rodeo.

​

Congratulations to Ten Sleep’s own, Bree Jackson, age 17, daughter of Bo and Jessica

Jackson, received a scholarship and has a passion for her ranching lifestyle and wants
