Please support our Tough Enough to Wear Pink! Journey Unauthorized will take center stage on Saturday night. You won't want to miss this evening’s performance! The motorsports park has spectators sitting on the edge of their seats whether it is the Mud Runs or the Bump and Run races. Car and racing enthusiasts should have a great time this week with all that is going on at the motorsports park. The 4-H youth and creative artists of Sheridan County are a huge part of the fair! It is a proud moment to watch our Sheridan County youth show their hard work through their 4-H projects. Come and watch the Horse Show on Wednesday, the Livestock Show on Friday and the Parade and Youth Livestock Auction on Saturday. It is amazing to see the various talents of our county residents. Everyone works extremely hard during the year and are eager to share their exhibits and handiwork for your viewing pleasure. Please take the time to enjoy all their hard work displayed up at the Civic Center. The commercial vendors are a great addition to our fair as they display new and innovative ideas and products. They are always willing to demonstrate and promote their products. Do not forget to check out the Commercial Building as well as various outdoor Vendors. And what would a fair be without Fair Food!

  • Lesson 1: Cowboy Church
    Lesson 1 COWBOY CHURCH PLANNING AHEAD One week before this lesson, consider planning a western night. Encourage your students to dress in western attire. Think through some fun western-themed games and snacks different age groups of children will enjoy. Encourage older students to help you prepare and run the activities and snacks. STARTUP PREP Each lesson in this Texas Missions for Kids curriculum volume tells the story of how one church is being the salt of the earth and the light of the world in response to Christ’s Sermon on the Mount as found in Matthew 5. Each week prepare your heart for ministry by reading the Beatitudes and following verses as recorded in Mathew 5:1-20. The Bible verse for this unit is Matthew 5:16. “In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 Each couple of lessons will also have a separate focal Bible verse to help the boys and girls in your church learn ways to minister as they focus on ministry throughout Texas and respond to the Word of God in their own lives. 1 COWBOY CHURCH VOLUME 2 - LESSON 1 SOUTHERN BAPTISTS OF TEXAS CONVENTION Blessings on each of you who teach children about the missions work of God in Texas through the ministry of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention. We hope you will learn about our state missions efforts as you teach the children in your church and/or community.

There were five individ- uals who put him in a beige Volkswagen. About a month later, his body was found. He had been brutally tortured and murdered.

Some state fairs draw more than one million visitors annually. • Outlaw Catering Company’s mouth- watering, jumbo Rebel Burger is a staple at the Eastern Idaho State Fair.

The answer depends on who’s doing the talking.

Be very afraid.” To: “Give the new guy a chance.” Bobby Henry (Otter Clan) is the rainmaker.

  • The Legal Status of Rodeo in New Zealand a Paper for the New Zealand Animal Law Association
    THE LEGAL STATUS OF RODEO IN NEW ZEALAND A PAPER FOR THE NEW ZEALAND ANIMAL LAW ASSOCIATION MARCH 2018 CATRIONA MACLENNAN | BARRISTER NZALA.ORG All New Zealand photos in this report are used by permission of the photographers, who wish to remain unnamed. These photos should not be reproduced in any capacity without the express permission of the photographers, which may be requested by contacting NZALA. Credits for Canada photos (pages 3, 8, 9, 77, 78, 87, 90 & back cover): Jo-Anne McArthur / We Animals All other photos are stock images from rodeos internationally. COVER IMAGE: TAUPO RODEO, NZ, 2016 – ANIMAL WRESTLING. FOREWORD From a legal perspective, rodeo in New Zealand is somewhat of an anomaly. Like recreational hunting or animal racing, some rodeo practices cause animals to suffer pain or distress for human entertainment. Unlike hunting and racing, rodeo is not explicitly allowed by legislation and is thus susceptible to the legal definition of ill-treatment, along with its criminal ramifications. The legality of rodeo in New Zealand under existing legislation is hanging by the thread of public acceptability or, in legal terms, the ‘reasonable or necessary’ test. Growing criticism of rodeo in the public opinion provides good prospects our Judiciary may soon accept the view that the pain and distress inflicted on rodeo animals are unreasonable and unnecessary according to modern New Zealand community values. Since 2004, rodeo in New Zealand has been regulated within the confines of a Code of elfare.W The legality of the current Code and its compatibility with its primary legislation deserve serious consideration, especially in light of the 2015 amendments to the Animal Welfare Act 1999 and the growing body of scientific evidence about the pain and distress of animals in rodeos.
