Whitehall's Wild West Frontier Days Recap

Whitehall's biggest weekend, the annual Frontier Days celebration, went off without a hitch this past weekend.

Here's a quick recap!

• M&M Vintage held its grand opening in the former Roper's building.

• The Kids Tractor Pull took place on Main Street under the direction of Mike and Kristy Price and Tanya Jorgenson. Thank you to the speedy welder who helped repair the tractor during the contest!

• The Wyldman Rodeo was held at the Whitehall Rodeo Grounds with hundreds in attendance to see a true ranch rodeo.
