A MAN
WAKES
UP in the
morning
after sleeping on...
an advertised bed, in advertised
pajamas.
He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR,
have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an
ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his
ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an
ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person
hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his
non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.
Then it’s too late.
AND THEY SAY ADVERTISING DOESN’T WORK?
DON’T MAKE THIS SAME MISTAKE
Advertising is an investment, not an expense. Think about it!

he Grant County Fairgrounds
arena continued to see record
numbers of rodeo fans Sunday,
Aug. 8, as young cowboys and
cowgirls from as far away as
Idaho competed at the Grant County Junior
Rodeo.
Jake Taylor, a longtime volunteer who
emceed the event, said the fairgrounds saw a
turnout of nearly 120 contestants who com-
peted in events that included steer riding, calf
riding, breakaway roping and barrel racing.
This year’s turnout of contestants was one of
the best the fairgrounds had seen in years.
He said that with record-shattering crowds
on Friday and Saturday — 500 and 1,000,
respectively — Sunday’s junior rodeo was
about building on the excitement surrounding
the sport and highlighting young talent.
“Today is about the youth,” he said.
Agriculture, Taylor said, is the founda-
tion of the 113-year-old tradition of the Grant
County Fair and Rodeo.
Grant County’s always been an ag-based
community, Taylor said. He said although log-
ging has had its ups and downs, agriculture
preceded it and has always been king.
It is not just about the rodeo, he said. It is
about the ag-based way of life. The fair and
rodeo are what have always brought people
together.
“The rodeo is just how we compete with
each other and come together,” Taylor said.
