Cowboys, cowgirls, face stiff competition
This year's rodeo events
open up with the Morrow
County Rodeo scheduled for
Fri., Aug. 28. at 7 p.m. and the
NRA-WRA Open Rodeo Satur
day and Sunday, Aug. 29 and
30.
Nobody knows who will win
this year's rodeo events, but
cowboys and cowgirls will
have some pretty stiff compet
ition if the rodeos are anything
like last year's.
Jerry Gentry, Heppner,
walked away with the All
Around Cowboy honors last
year, as the 1980 Morrow
County Rodeo came to a close.
Joedy Mario. I. also of
Heppner, claimed the Ama
teur Calf Roping title winding
up three days of Rodeo action
which saw attendance up over
1979.
For his efforts. Gentry won
several prizes, including a
handmade Severe saddle do
nated by the Morrow County
Grain Growers, a two foot
high trophy, and a $50 cash
award from the Orville Cuts
forth family.
Marlatt picked up a Severe
saddle also, this one donated
by the Kinzua Corp. of
Heppner.
Attendance for last year's
three days of rodeo action was
apparently up over 1979, as
rodeo organizers, said they
took in over $700 more in gate
receipts.
Ail-Around winner in the
open events was Pat Minor of
Ellensburg. Minor also won
the calf roping with a time of
10.9.
In Morrow County action,
Bob Steagall and Roice Fulle
ton took first place in team
roping and won a pair of
spurs.
Jerry Gentry took first in

both Saturday and Sunday
