THIRD ANNUAL BETTY KUNESH AWARD

Presented by Art of the Cowgirl

In honor of Grandma Betty, we have created the Betty Kunesh Legacy Award. This award is to be given to a woman who embodies the cowgirl spirit. Our hope is to honor those special women who are not always in the lime light: the women who work hard their whole lives leading by example, embracing fellowship and community, and honoring the western lifestyle.
