1944 Rodeo Called
Off Tuesday Evening
By Assn. Directors
No Further Shows
Here if Heppner
Not Interested
"If the business men and people
of Heppner don't want a rodeo, the
Rodeo association most certainty
does not want to force a show on
them this year or any other time."
That was the unanimous expression
of members of the association at a
meeting held Tuesday, evening for
the purpose of calling off the 1944
rodeo. Cancellation was voted after
a review of steps taken to put the
grounds in shape, contracting for
show stock and numerous other
items connected with putting on a
show.
In summing up the objections to
staging the show, it was the opin
ion of the directors that the most
serious factor is that of housing.
