Junior Rodeo a hit for local residents
The San Benito County Fair is officially under way this week.
Festivities kicked off last weekend with the Junior Rodeo and the
Ranch Rodeo being held at Bolado Park. The weather should be nice
for the fair this year. Last year we got rained on and we just
about melted in the heat last weekend at the rodeos.

Bitterwater Tully School will be hosting a community flu shot clinic at the end of October. The date still hasn’t been determined yet, but if you would like to be included, they do need a head count before Oct. 20. Shots offered include the flu shot, swine flu shot and pneumonia shot. Please contact either myself or the school ASAP if you’d like to take part in the clinic.
A great weekend of rodeo was followed up by a great day of football. How do you like those Broncos now? To all my Raider friends out there, whenever you’re ready to move on to a “winning” team, just give me a call. Ha ha!!
