Christmas Valley
Rodeo July 27-28
Plans are well under way for
the second annual Christmas
Valley Rodeo, to be held July
27 and. 28 at the Dude Raneh
Arena.
This year the rodeo will be
under the auspices of a newly
formed riding club, The Sage
Riders. The community of Christ
mas Valley is buzzing with ac
tivity as volunteer club mem
bers plow through the myriad
taks necessary to shaping up
a 'rodeo.
Highlight of the rodeo will be
Ora Summer's well known buck
ing horses from Klamath Marsh.
Summers produced the famous
bucking horse "War Paint" who
for three years won the coveted
title "Bucking Horse of The
Year," awarded annually by the
Rodeo Cowboys' Associa t i o n.
Many of Summers' horses have
the same potential, as witnessed
recently at the Silver Lake, Ore
gon, Rodeo -where 33 out of 40
riders "bit the dust."
Arena events will Include
bareback riding, saddle bronc
riding, calf roping, team roping
and cow riding. Gymkhana
events for the kids are also plan
ned, as well as a reined cow
horse class. Buckles will again
be awarded to winners of all
events, and a $300 trophy saddle
will go to the All Around Cow
boy. Entries close July 26 at
12:00 noon.
