Ledger Looking Back 25 Years: July

JULY 18, 1996

Frontier Days ’96 will feature many of the events people have come to love over the years as well as a few newcomers. The largest “newcomer” will be the NRA professional rodeo to be held at the Whitehall rodeo arena. Featuring professional rodeo contestants from all over the northwest, the rodeo will also host competitors whose names will be familiar as area residents. Besides regular rodeo events on Saturday and Sunday, the rodeo will spotlight a wild horse race both days.

Another event new to the Frontier Days celebration will be a special appearance by a 35-member German vocal ensemble Saturday afternoon. And a part of the proceeds of a beef raffle drawing to be held Saturday night will be used by the Whitehall Business Assoc. to support another “newcomer”, a $300 educational scholarship.
