It’s back for 2012 – what is always one of the biggest comps of the year, the Burton Cattlemans Rail Jam will be held on Saturday July 14th. There’s a change to this years format with it shifting from an invitation only contest to an open event with qualifiers happening on a replica rail during the day on Saturday. There’s more details in the flyer above or in the press release below. If you’ve never made it to this comp before, I highly recommend making the trip – it’s always a super fun night.
