Holler have you had as much
fun as you'll have at the Hof-
meister Annual Junior Rodeo
Sunday, August %, beginning at
2 p. m.
This show, featuring only buck
aroos between the ages Of 8 and
is years, win provide thrills,
chills, spills and a rip-roarin' at
ternoon Of entertainment for ev-
eryone.
The crowd is expected to
greatly exceed the junior rodeo
at YOUNGSTERS earlier this year
nj view Of advance ticket sales
and the reception Of the know
how of these young riders. This
being the second junior rodeo to
be undertaken, it is little won

capable youngsters viii be pack

the OF top rail cheerin' for their
favorite.
It's mighty excitin' time when
these youngsters drop down in
the buckin' chute, just like the
big cowboys do. There the "get-
tin'-set' on the bronc and the call
comes finally, "Open the gate
and I'll ride 'im!" The gate
swings back and horse and rider
squirt through for a pitchin,'
tossin', snortin' battle Of seconds.
While the horse is swappin'
ends and turnin' every side but
out, the rider hauls back with a
hand full o. riggin', legs swing
in, as every rider in succession
shoulders. across the barrel and
and tries to scratch his name on
its flanks with his spurs.
Boys and girls alike will pull
many muscle and tune up every
nerve as they strive in the COM
petitions Of the calf ropin', calf
rldln, pole Denolng, morse racing,
musical chair race and the bronc
ridn'.
While awards will be given to
these individual winners, another
deserving group of youngsters
will also benefit from their eff
forts and from those Of persons
who buy a ticket. The proceeds
from this Rodeo are to be given
to the Shrine Hospital for Grip
pied Children In Spokane.
The public is expected to turn
out en- masse and are assured by
Bob Hofmeister, director of Hof-
meister Rodeos, of an afternoon
well spent in fun, entertainment
and western program.
