For the sixth-consecutive year, professional bull riders will make their way to San Benito County on Sept. 8, but this year’s Hollister bull ridding festivities will be slightly different.
The weekend’s 79th annual San Benito County Saddle Horse Show and Rodeo, which kicks off Thursday with the rodeo parade in downtown Hollister, will be a mix of tradition and new this year.
What’s that old saying, April showers bring May flowers? Well, it sure is happening in South County. We were blessed with almost two inches of rain last week. Mother Nature sure works in mysterious ways, just when you think you’re not going to get another drop of rain for the year, she gives you buckets of rain to keep the grass a growing. Whew, what a relief!
Whew, it’s been a busy couple of weeks down here in South County; I haven’t even had time to write my column! And, with the way the weather has been this year, it looks like it’s going to get even busier as lots of folks are already starting to ship their cattle due to the lack of rain this year. We haven’t even had a real winter this year.
