Best in Show, Silver Dollar City 2006
Visit Silver Dollar City's website for the prize winning cowboy boots of the Best of American Bootmakers Competetition 2006.
Park visitors voted for their favorite pairs in five categories: "Novice," "Work," "Office," and "Stage" boots... along with "Best Shop Effort," a category for larger boot companies where a boot is passed from hand to hand during its construction.
As the newest offering in the Festival of American Music & Crafts ...there were nearly 60 pairs of boots entered in the contest and bootmakers demonstrating their craft. I'm making my plans to attend next year's competition... September 13 through October 27. See you there!

Jennifer June:
Thank you for covering our competition here at Silver Dollar City. We were so proud to host the event and privledged to meet so many talented bootmakers and display their work. Our guests voted with their time...which tells me there is a terrific interest in what you all do! Silver Dollar City's heart is in keeping the "art" alive in craftsmanship, and custom bootmaking is no exception. We will begin planning for next years competition in the next few weeks.
Stay tuned...Very Sincerely, Marty Schmitt
