A week full of special events brought in the attention of many visitors to the Vernal area, as well as its residents, such as the 'Guess the Weight of the Bull' contest held at Wendy's. Contestants were given the opportunity to guess the weight of a full sized bull in the parking lot in hopes of winning a $200 gift certificate certifi-cate to Goodrich American Car Care Center. Cody Anderson guessed the correct weight of 1,835 pounds and received the special award. Also at Wendy's was the contest to guess the length of a longhorn steer's horns sponsored spon-sored by 7-11 Longhorns of Altamont. Mariel Sunkees had the closest guess and received a $50 gift certificate to the Bull Ring in Vernal. The runner up for that competition, Nelda Cook, was given steaks from Uintah Packing. A heartfelt thanks goes out to Wendy's for their hospitality during the contests.
