Bud and Mary Linton Rodeo Scholarship

When you grow up in the heart of ranching country in Meeteetse, Wyo., as Bud Linton did, you know rodeo as a way of life.
And when you build your business in Park County, serving the farming and ranching community, you feel the pulse of the rodeo capital of northern Wyoming. The family business of Linton’s Big R Store in Powell is an avid supporter of rodeo and rodeo cowboys.
The Northwest College rodeo program has expanded with a large arena between Powell and Cody.
“The college rodeo facility is in a prime area, and we wanted to help promote interest in this popular program with a scholarship,” Bud said.
“I just have a lot of interest in the college,” Bud added. “I want to do anything I can to help students find their future. Sometimes the best way I can help them is financially.”
Bud and Mary Linton have lived in Powell since 1960. He is a former member of the Board of Trustees at NWC and has served on the NWC Foundation Board for 28 years.
