Lakeview: The Tallest Town in Oregon

6.07.2007


After a bit of research, I've found the Ed Reed was from Lakeview, dubbed the tallest town in Oregon. This weekend in Lakeview citizens will be participating in the Junior Rodeo which involves: "Riding events for senior boys, ages 14-18, include bareback, saddle bronc, calf roping, bull riding and team roping. Senior and junior girls — ages 14-18 and 8-13, respectively — events will include barrel racing, pole bending, breakaway, goat tying and team roping.
Junior boys events will include steer riding, steer stopping, goat tying, breakaway and team roping." (Courtesy of the Lake County Examiner) I'm not sure why the older boys rope calves and the girls rope goats--an egregious double standard. I'm protesting this by refusing to rope anything, goat or otherwise. And, in case you were curious, pole bending is essentially slolem skiing on a horse. Barrel racing is racing around a barrel, and should you want to "Discover the Rush and Reward" of this fascinating sport you may click here to purchase a video of the 2006 US Barrel Racing Championship.

These two lovely ladies are the featured beauties of the Lakeview Junior Rodeo. Nothing creates a rip roaring good time like a crown on a cowboy hat. Yee-ha!
