Sourdough Sam Contest 2005

Sourdough Sam contestants and others for 2005

Have a look at the couragous group of guys that took on the challenge of this year's contest for the Primo Yukon Male 2005. This year's sponsor one again is Yukon Brewing Company and their Chilkoot Lager product. Please dont forget to support our sponsors year round.

This year's contest was a tribute to the troops fighting for our country and others. We tried to format it loosely like the USO tours that entertain the troops for our theme this year.

Below you will see the Sam contestants as well as those many volunteers that we rely on to help make the contest a success. The Sams provided great entertainment for the audience and also helped raise approx. $6,000.00 towards the family and children events that were held on Main Street for Rendezvous weekend. They also donated their talents??? to the show in the tent on Main Street Saturday.

If you happen to see these guys on the street, give them a wave and congratulate them for a job well done. Once a Sam, always a Sam!!!!

Rendezvous and the Shufflers would like to thank you all for the many hours of hard work you volunteered this year and look forward to 2006 when it will be 20 YEARS OF SAMMING!!! That means it will be an alumni year so teams are the norm. Start planning now!!

This page is still under construction as we browse through the hundreds of pictures for the best ones. Please check back soon for updates. Thanks.
