↵1-150 Sponsorship amount could only be ascertained for a limited number of the identified sponsorships. Therefore, figures in this table represent a bare minimum for the amount of sponsorship funding in each category.
↵1-151 Sponsorships of rodeo and motor sports events are included as separate entries.
↵1-152 Total is less than the sum of the column figures because one sponsorship was included in two categories.
