For that reason, the Jacey Lee Memorial Race will be held in Spy Hill on Satur- day, August 28 in memory of Jacey. Organized by Fredbjorn- son with lots of help and do- nations from family, friends cows, she enjoyed fall roundup, bringing cows home, prac- and acquaintances—people who knew and loved Jacey— ticing in the arena all the time, going on trail rides.
