Sheep Chasing – Thursday, June 12th
Children ages 4-7 who applied for the Mutton Busting but were not selected to compete are eligible to participate! They will chase sheep around the arena to collect ribbons that are attached to the sheep wool. Ribbons are redeemed for great prizes!

The first team back wins $300.
