Reception, back-number ceremony and autographs
The official nightly calendar lists a public contestant welcome on December 1, 5:30–6:15 p.m., adjacent to the Benny Binion statue at South Point. The later contestant reception is listed for PRCA Convention attendees only. Do not assume the public welcome gives access to a private ceremony or that a stream is available. The autograph calendar provides separate event-group appearances during NFR week.
