Outside Circle by Jan Swan Wood: Cancellation, horse sales, trick riding clinic, several roping clinics, BHSS events

 

 

 

It’s been another beautiful week here on the northern plains. I hear tell that the wind is going to blow furiously by week’s end (I’m writing this on Tuesday), so that will be something new and different. All the hay fed in Montana may end up in Kansas.

I got word the the Black Hills Stock Show Pioneer Breakfast and Awards has been canceled for this year. Concerns for the well being of the mostly older crowd was the reason for the cancellation.

It’s been announced that the Casey Tibbs Match of Champions will once again be held in Ft. Pierre, S.D. in 2021. I will update you with the date and other details when available.



Don’t forget the Gordon Livestock Market Winter Horse Sale on Jan. 19 and on Feb. 23, Gordon, Neb.

The Camp Crook Roping Club will be holding a meeting Feb. 8, 6:30 p.m., at Tam’s Corner Bar, Camp Crook, S.D. Karen says to please try to be there. One never knows what committee they will be in charge of if they don’t show up.
