Local cowboy Steve Wollert was awarded the title of Mr. International Gay Rodeo Association for 2006 last week at the IGRA Finals Rodeo in Dallas. “I’m excited about welcoming the contestants, spectators, sponsors and supporters of Gay Rodeo back to San Diego in April,” commented Wollert. The Greater San Diego Chapter (GSDC) of the Golden State Rodeo Association will be hosting their 18th annual event this spring. The primary objective of the GSDC is to promote the country/western lifestyle within the gay community, to support amateur sportsmanship through participation, competition and recognition, and to give back to the community through charitable contributions. Since 1988 the GSDC has donated over $162,000 to local San Diego charities.
