The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

This is the third year Merrill Bradshaw Carpentry http://www.merrillbradshaw.com/ and Barrows’ Jocko Graphics of Arlee http://www.arleemontana.com/business/jockographics have teamed up to produce the "trophy-ettes" for the Missoula Marathon. They were approached by Anders Brooker of the Runner’s Edge in Missoula, one of the marathon sponsors.

Their first ones focused on the race’s 2012 motto – "The Best of the Wild West" – and incorporated horseshoes into the design.

Funny thing, that.

After runners from other places who participated in the Missoula Marathon saw them, Bradshaw and Barrows were suddenly being hired to design and produce awards for races as far away as Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
