Show SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS WEDNESDAY AUGUST 28, 2002 Opinion ' Dixie Speaks What a weekend! IvXy.v.v We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to the Western Legends Round-U- p Committee, as well as all the local volunteers, for making the event such a great success. What a wonderful weekend! The music, food and entertainment were first class. The demonstrations and panel discussions provided an important educational element to the event. From personal experience, I know how much time, effort and money go into producing something like Western Legends. The event was not only successful in its own right, but left a good impression of this area on visitors. Thanks for your untold hours of hard work creating an event that not only benefits everyone, but one we believe will eventually become this area's legacy. Letters to the Editor What is your opinion?
