Wyoming State FFA - Nickie Linnabur Memorial Scholarship Fund for use at Local Chapters: Cody, Powell or Meeteetse. The event that initiated the implementation of this Fund was when Nickie, a 16-year-old girl, who worked for Mule Days in 2005, was killed in an automobile accident following Mule Days that year. She was a very special person and a joy to be around. Jake had told her (jokingly) one day, “Be here at 6:30 a.m. for work.” Nickie showed up at 5:45 a.m. and got Jake out of bed! Served him right! Getting the best of Jake Clark at his own game doesn't happen very often. The family had Nickie’s service held at the ranch, where Nickie was really happy during her last summer. After the services, the family spread some of Nickie’s ashes in the pasture. In 2006, we were grateful to a good friend, Brian Valentine and his “Angel’s Nest Ranch”, who initiated a matching fund donation.
