; In the bareback competition Shane Olney of Toppenish, Washington making the winning ride on a horse
1 called Dungen. There were not as many contestants for the Root Feast Rodeo as expected Some of the stock
really un-corked and gave the riders all they could handle especially in the bullriding, it was a pretty close battle
between the cowboys and the bulls but the bulls had the slight edge at the end of the day.
