Show Days of the Old West Rodeo Company Signs For Show August 19 and 20 The Millard County Fair and Rodeo committee signed a contract Saturday with the Intermountain Rodeo company of Springville, for the annual county fair and rodeo, "Days of he Old West." Held each August, dates for the 1949 event are Friday and Saturday, August 19 and 20, at the rodeo grounds in Deseret. Ormous L. Dutson, committee chairman, states that plans are under way to make this year's two-day show more entertaining than any held up to date, which covers a lot of territory. Last August Au-gust hundreds of spectators overflowed over-flowed the grandstands, and more are expected for this year. The Intermountain Rodeo company, com-pany, showing for the first time locally, is tops in their field, and recognized throughout the intermountain inter-mountain area for outstanding rodeos. They showed the rodeo at the Salt Lake county fair and rodeo last year, and will be there again this year. Other dates this year for them are at the St. George Sun Bowl and Richfield Labor Day. At elections held last week, Mr. Dutson was re-elected as chairman chair-man of the Millard County Fair and Rodeo committee, with Cecil Warner retained as secretary and treasurer. Wayne Petersen was elected as vice chairman. |
