One of the favorite events is Mutton Bustin. This event always gets all the spectators on their feet and yelling for their favorite youngster.
It doesn’t get much cuter than seeing a little girl or boy wearing their western hats and all the apparel Mom and Dad has dressed them up with. Gotta love those little bitty boots, and scarves they wear. So come on out to the Meeker Arena East of Town and have 2 nights of great fun.

8. Update for Summer
A. I heard the weather reporters talking about humidity and warm weather coming up.
That means wearing cooler clothes, hats and sandals. With all the fun Summer Events coming up for us to enjoy, let us remember to Love our Family, Friends and Neighbors and also forgive those that may have trespassed against you.
So many times a little whisper of “I’m sorry” or “Forgive me” brings years of broken relationships back together and then you can see and hear people state that they wish they would have done that along time ago.
So many times, we let such little things separate us. So, let’s all say “we’re sorry” and finish up 2021 as a year to remember.
