Pam Minick has done so much for cowboy and cowgirl culture that it would be hard to fit them all in this space. Fortunately, she’s been given a title that will sum them all up pretty nicely. From now on, Minick will be officially known as a Cowtown Legend. She will receive the award this weekend as part of the Western Heritage Trail Drive Celebration, a free event put on by Score a Goal in the Classroom on Saturday though Monday in downtown Fort Worth. That wasn’t her first or only foray into acting. She was part of the stunt team for the 1991 movie Necessary Roughness and played a TV reporter on the 2001 movie Cowboy Up. Minick is still on screen as the host for RFD-TVs The American Rancher. Minick got these parts because she is one of the best cowgirls to ever work on an arena floor. She was a Nevada High School Rodeo Barrel Racing Champion and the 1982 Women’s World Champion Breakaway calf roper. She is also known as one of the best rodeo commentators in the business. For her contributions to rodeo culture as a competitor and for all her other successes, Minick has been given several titles and awards, including Miss Rodeo America and induction into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 2000. All of that had already made her a cowtown legend. But now we get to capitalize the title....
