PAULS VALLEY RODEO THIS WEEK

The summer rodeo season will get off to a flying start this week when the 
annual three-day Pauls Valley rodeo is stated June 23-24-25 at the new 
rodeo arena at Pauls Valley.

A motor caravan of rodeo boosters swept through this part of the state
last Friday to publicize the rodeo and the big 1,000 horse parade that
will officially open the rodeo Thursday afternoon (today).

In a short speech Mayor Jack Livingston of Pauls Valley invited
everyone to the show and challenged Purcell's Mayor Leo Cobb to a
wild-cow milling contest on the second night of the show.  Cobb
quickly accepted the challenge and started looking for some wild
cows to practice on.

All Round-Up clubs are invited to participate in costume in the big
parade Thursday afternoon and compete for the $250 in prize moneys.

The rodeo is being sponsored by the Pauls Valley chamber of commerce
and Round-Up club.
