Carnival Days Scary rides, fun games enable people to survive dusty storm By Aldon Rachele The carnival was buck in town once again in Roosevelt, which traditionally has been held just after the Memorial Day Weekend and when students are still celebrating the first days of Summer Vacation after a long nine months of school work. Ferris-whee- Big Bucks from Ihc Uintah Basin; which was the highlight of the recent held Friday Rough Rider Days Spoilsmens Show, also features big fish and elk during the event and Saturday in Roosevelt. NOT JUST BUCKS-T- hc Tilt-A-Whi- l, rl, Roller Coaster are some of the famous fun filled rides from over the years, but the old Hammer ride, which scared the "daylights" out young and old alike in the past, took on a new form at this years carnival. Riders were loaded into cars, which were attached to a big wheel similar to the The major difference was that riders at times were upside down while going around in Merry-Go-Roun- d, Ferris-whee- and of course the basketball shooting contest For some it was more fun to just watch the hot shots try to hit three baskets in a row to win a big prize. One hoops ter at the carnival in Roosevelt put on a great show after sinking two shots in a row. He spun around, licked his thumb, placed it on his body, to show how "hot" he was, but he choked under the pressure as he missed the crucial final shot. However, one happy hoops ter hit three in a row and won a giant stuffed Crayon. What does a person do with a super king size Crayon? He looks for a giant coloring book. Of course the carnival worker got all excited as he said, while jumping up and down with the king size Crayon, "Weve Got A Winner! Weve Got A Winner!" When the carnival .comes to Roosevelt it usually means a windstorm is on its way, which in turn causes a dust storm due to the event being located in a sandy field next to the rest area. The prediction was true as once again the wind created a dusty journey for carnival fans, but there wasn't any complaining because they won a prize and survived a scary ride. l. a giant circle. "I double dare you!!" didnt work on some carnival fans as no matter what the offer-mon- ey, prizes, (corn dogs, hamburgers), etc.-th- food ey refused to take a scary ride.

He said there are a few things applicators can do on their own in about an hour's time before begin- ning to spray. These are: 1. Check strainers, valves and pumps for cracks and leaks. 2. Examine booms closely to be certain all nozzles on the boom are the same size and type. 3. Check all hoses for kinks, wear and splitting. 4. Check supplies to ensure that extra replacement tips and other sprayer parts are on hand, if needed. 5. Be sure to have safety gear on hand prior to spraying.
