Photo Package Information

The Roundup Photo Package, included for all contestants, includes:

  • Exclusive access to all photos taken during Roundup. Be sure to provide a good e-mail address at registration; your login information for the photos web site will be sent via e-mail!
  • Events photographed: Apex Center, Trail Dust Steak House, Friday Banquet, Friday Dance, Amazing Jakes, Awards, Meals, Workshops, and as many contests as two on-site photographers can get to. (Tours will not be photographed.)
  • Special photographs: State Photos, taken immediately after the Friday opening banquet; Awards Photos, taken after the Sunday awards banquets. For the awards photos please know that all competing teams and individuals are invited to pose together (optionally with their coaches) for team photos regardless of placings.
  • Up to four digital high resolution masters. Choose up to four high resolution digital archive masters from your state and awards photos. These digital files are too large to be placed on a website; access will be granted via a special request form on the photos site. We recommend placing your digital masters onto a jump drive or CD-ROM and having a professional photo service make prints at 8x10 or larger on glossy, high quality photo paper. More information and suggested retailers will be listed on the photos website.

Night at Apex Center Wednesday Evening - $35 per person

Each participant wishing to attend the Apex activities on Wednesday evening will need to pre-register through the Roundup registration. An incredible site, the Apex Center features a huge swimming area complete with water slides, hot tubs and a clubhouse-like "pump station" that sprays water from every conceivable angle. The 23,500-square-foot aquatics area, with five separate components, has the look and feel of a resort indoor water park.

Trail Dust Steakhouse: Thursday Evening - $40 per person without transportation or $50 per person with transportation

Each participant wishing to have dinner at the Trail Dust Steakhouse on Thursday will need to pre-register through the Roundup registration. The Trail Dust is known for its fun and relaxed atmosphere... they even cut off your tie! You'll begin with a complete Western Dinner which includes your choice of Mesquite Grilled Chicken Breast, 14 oz. T-bone or 8 oz. Prime Rib, Double House Salad with Veggie Kabob, "Scout" Top Sirloin Burger or Cheeseburger; sides and drinks. In addition, there will be time allowed for the Pin Swap and getting to know everyone along with dancing to the live band at the Trail Dust.
No refunds will be given for this event if cancelled after December 10
Prime Rib will have to be pre-ordered through Roundup registration

Hoodies will be white heather with the Roundup logo on the front left pocket area and a colorful "A Night With The Stars" Roundup theme on the back.
