When the time came, he said, it might be a good idea to the county sheds. We may have to look at that said Beroption nini. We do have quite an investment in the present sheds, said te down-the-roa- d, Young. The Juab High School Rodeo Club will only be allowed to use the county fair grounds and the equipment there if they sign a contract.
