ASS is about to embark upon an extremely important and exciting new adventure. SASS has just established the SASS Cowboy Action Museum and Hall of Fame, a non-profit educational institution designed to document and preserve our American Western Culture. The Mission of the SASS Museum and Hall of Fame is to preserve the historic significance of Cowboy Action Shooting™ and the cultural aspects of the Single Action Shooting Society for the enrichment and education of the SASS membership, Western lifestyles public, and Cowboy Action Shooting™ industry. The Museum will be funded through contributions from the membership of the Single Action Shooting Society, the Western Lifestyles public, and fundraisers at membership events. The Museum will be managed by the Directors of the Single Action Shooting Society and will be located in the headquarter offices of the Single Action Shooting Society in Yorba Linda, California. The museum will house a variety of priceless items and artifacts from our twenty plus year history. The museum will be built slowly, and a traveling version will premiere at the SASS Convention in December. Although we are in the preliminary stages, we have already begun gathering and cataloging items accumulated over the years. The first item on the list is the original drawing of our beloved logo, the SASS Marshal. Created by Bill Hahn back in 1982, the priceless one-of-a-kind artwork will be cataloged, framed, and protected as will the original John Dwayne drawing and the originals of our many END of TRAIL posters. The museum will eventually house a SASS Library where visitors will be able to view all issues of The Cowboy Chronicle as well as our collection of event and shooters programs. We have already identified more than 200 items of importance to our museum and will be creating a fund raising campaign to help make the museum a reality.
 

 
In addition to the Museum, SASS has established a Hall of Fame also to be housed under the same roof. A committee is being formed to evaluate and establish a national program of selection and induction. We must give credit to Black Jack McGinnis for bringing the Hall of Fame idea to our attention this past year. After careful consideration it was obvious a Hall of Fame would be an important part of our museum.
