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! Blue Mountain Eagle MyEagleNews.com bon, Reserve Champion T. Sharp — red ribbon C. Lindsay — red ribbon T.

Kim Kell 541-575-0710 S283676-1 139101 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. YOUTH RODEO RESULTS
