Joining the 1st Battalion Light Horse at the outbreak of World War 1, Arch Warren Bramley Shane Easey Graham Clydsdale Kim Clydsdale was wounded during the Desert Campaign and later decorated with the Military Medal.

IN THIS ISSUE We rear in to 2017 with glee and some new columnists! I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for their amazing feedback and support. The Snowy River Echo is your only locally owned, pub- lished and printed magazine. We take pride in this and love supporting the community in any way we can. I had a phone call in early February from a resident in Berridale, the lady thought she had missed January’s edition. Explaining to me that she posts a copy each month to an old friend in New Zealand that used to work on the Snowy. I replied with joy now knowing that the magazine (if only one copy) gets to New Zea- land. As discussed with this regular reader, I mentioned that the magazine hasn’t been published in January before but as per the communities feedback we will as of next year publish 12 editions a year. The Monaro’s agriculture show season is upon us. So please support our local towns by attending or partic- ipating! I will be participating in a few of the horse events my self, feel free to come over and say hi!

    FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2020 6:30 P.M. | STEPHENS CO. EXPO CENTER | DUNCAN, OKLAHOMA 6:30 P.M. ON FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2020 STEPHENS CO. EXPO CENTER DUNCAN, OKLAHOMA Welcome to the 2020 Bred to Buck Sale, With all the changes going on in the world, one thing that remains the same is our focus of producing elite bucking bulls. For over 35 years, we have strived to produce the very best in the business. We know the competition gets better every year so we work to remain a leader in the industry. One thing we have proven is all the great bulls are backed by proven cow families. Our program takes great pride in our cows and we KNOW they are the key to our operation. We sell 200 plus females each year between the Fall Female Sale and this Bred to Buck Female Sale, so we have our cow herd fine-tuned to only the most proven cow families. It is extremely hard to select females for this sale knowing that many of our very best cows will be leaving the program. However, we do take pride in the success our customers have with the Page genetics. There are so many great success stories from our customers, and we can’t begin to tell them all. Johna Page Bland, Office 2020 is a year we will never forget, our country has experienced changes and regulations that we have never seen throughout history. We will get through this, but we will have to 580.504.4723 // Fax: 580.223.4145 make some adjustments along the way.

That was fun. I got a lot of good feedback from Keith and also picked up some ideas from the others who participated. I have streamlined my game considerably! I also converted the cards and charts to PDF to make it easier to share. I like the progress to date and looking forward to getting some play testing done with it. Feel free to share it with others, and they can also have my email address. Now ... I wanted to get this over quickly, because I have an idea for the whole rodeo concept. It's based on the Wrestling card game Book It! You start with a stable of local cowboys and in the course of several events you try to amass enough reputation points to be a top rodeo promoter. Cards would include cowboy cards, venue cards, and special event cards (i see this where you would include chuckwagon, cowboy poker, and other special events to boost reputation). I haven't thought through most of the conceptual pieces yet, but in essence it's a deck building game (right up Sam's alley). ===== ROB GALLAMORE Here you go Keith, this is what my Tie Down Roping Game looks like. I exported it to a pdf this time. I bought Affinity Publisher about a week ago as it was half price.

  • 'Artiste' Now, Am I. Hope They Didn't Hear That Across Town. He Drew Another Deep Breath and Concentrated on the Gate Where the Bull Would Rampage Out
    16 the crowd loved to be scared at this stunt, the human ball in the barrel and the bull determined to butt the infuriating object until it presented something to gore. When the barrel at last seemed to have quit rolling and he opened one eye and cautiously raised his head, he saw the ornery whiteface bull paw the ground one last time, and then its departing rear end, the tail switching slowly back and forth as the critter lost interest. Even so, he waited to hear the whap of lariat on rump as Dolph galloped in to haze the bucking bull out the far end of the arena. "He's on the run, Snowball," Dolph called, "better git yourself out of there." Monty gulped air and unkinked himself. Somewhat groggy, but he remembered the routine and tossed his hat out first. Reliably the crowd guffawed. When no harm came to the hat, he stuck his head out the end of the barrel like an inquisitive turtle, gawking this way and that. The rhythm of the laughter built, orchestral, mass chortles of anticipation as the audience waited for his next maneuver; he'd been right about this, rodeo-goers could handle the idea of him fooling around. He clambered out, spun around and peeked back into the barrel, as if the bull might be in there. Thunder of laughter at that, any more and they'd shake the grandstand to pieces. He quit while he was ahead and picked up his dusty hat, bowing to the announcer with the megaphone who was whipping up a nice round of applause for "our artiste of the barrel after that dosi ~doe he just did with the gentleman cow." Then back to business, kicking the big barrel along until it was in the vicinity of the bucking chutes again and he was standing ready for the next bull rider who needed his neck saved.
