by Deanna Mitchener
This year's 3rd annual Pro-Rodeo Fall
Roundup was a wonderful success. The weather

in Medicine Lodge are much tougher than a few

mood for some good old fashioned rodeo

without a hitch and the time flew right by while a
crowd of several hundred watched, including

A sudden deluge hit while hungry patrons lined
up for the pig roast and turkey dinner sponsored
by Jason Hird Trucking but fans toughed it out.
