AS Seen And Heard BY
RED MYRICK

The rodeo at Phoenix was a big
success again this year. The local
boys have been coming in this week
telling me all about that wonderful

the money. But I still have the
best alibi-I didn't get there.
This weekend most of the local
boys will be at KinSley's Sunday,
April 20th. E1 Centro, Calf, is
having 3-day show starting today,
and a lot of the hands will be there.
It is big show with good money

Sunday, April 81, at 9:30 am,
the big horse show at Sonoita will
be going in full swing, with the
largest entry of horses ever to be
had by the Santa Cruz County Fair

report, over 153 horses had already
been entered, some of these quarter
horses showing in as many as five
classes. Entries, according to Doris
Seibold, will be an all time high.
They have the trophies on display
in Daniels Jewelry window in Tue
son, but we have been promised a
look at them in Santa Cruz County

The one class that has been added
this year which I think shows the
