The trick riders will perform during the Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo Aug. 16-17 at the Mor row County Fairgrounds. One educator, one fashion consultant, one communication specialist and one lawyer make up The Flying Cossacks, who perform Indian and Russian battle maneuvers on four fast running horses, in colorful coordinated costumes. Preserving a unique and dy ing art form, the trick riding "Flying Cossacks" were form ed in 1973. The Flying Cos sacks, aka the Ellerman family, have performed throughout the United States. In 1988 and 1989, they had a special invita tion to appear at the Belmont Stakes in New York. During the 1991 National Finals Rodeo, the family troupe performed in the opening ceremonies. Part of the group appeared in a special show in Kuwait. Tami, the special education teacher executes a fender com bination and is the only trick rider today who currently per forms the difficult backbend. Fawn the communication ex pert, performs the infamous and popular Stroud layout and compliments with the danger ous taildrag. Jozell, a recent graduate of FIDM, does a graceful side- shoulder stand, displaying great strength and balance. She combines with Fawn on the final run to enact the rarely seen hippodrome and taildrag on one horse. Troy, the lawyer, executes rapid-fire groundwork along with a shoulder stand and somersault drag. Delivered with speed, action, showmanship and grace, The Flying Cossacks add the unique element of various themes and musical arrangements to appeal to the young and old alike. Elements of danger, heart stopping action, bodies that execute feats beneath thunder ing hooves-The Flying Cos sacks will bring you this and more! 4-H continues strong programs Outfit Them W ith Style. 20 % OFF KID’S Regular Price SHIRTS, BLOUSES JEANS & BOOTS 41C200, 250, 100, 175, 41F300 13MWZ & 936DEN Blue Jeans 19" 25% O FF •Ladies’ Jeans & Blouses •Add $2 .0 0 for 3 8 ” inseam •Add $ 4 .0 0 for 4 4 ” waist Morrow County 4-H has 289 members and 71 leaders.
