Dear Editor: Congratulations to PRCA Coordinators

Dear Editor,

Congratulations to the people who brought the PRCA Rodeo to Whitehall last weekend. It was great to hear some noise from the rodeo grounds again and even better to be a part of it.

I took my sister-in-law and her grandchildren, who live in Singapore - and they loved it. It was a huge thrill for Harvey and Louisa to see cowboys and cowgirls in action - and beyond fun to have Jack Dawson there to explain what was going on and Halle Downey to keep track of the kids when they weren't in their seats. The wild horse riders set the tone for an evening they won't soon forget.

Huge thanks to Barrick and Valley Bank and everyone else who stepped up with a check or their time or both to bring professional rodeo to Whitehall for the first time. River Ranch Chocolates was delighted to be able to participate as a Copper Sponsor.

It takes a village - and this weekend demonstrated that when this village pulls together wonderful things happen.

Respectfully submitted,

RUTH LOTT
