Iris (Hunter) and her husband Wayne McDowell from Moose Jaw came to visit her cousin Margie Olsen and family, Jimmy and Nancy Murdock, as well as many other family members. They drove out to have a late lunch with Pat Murdock at the farm. They enjoyed going to the Sleeping Buffalo to swim and having brunch at their new restaurant. Iris’ grandfather was Agnes (Hunter) Murdock’s brother.

A lot of credit has gone to the kids in 4H who had animals to show on a hot week at the P.C. Fair. Congrats to the winners. It cooled down for the Valley Co Fair in Glasgow where Pat Murdock’s great-granddaughter Blake Ozark took the grand championship heavy-weight pig at 300 pounds! Also, Whit Ozark and his two teammates won the wild pony race. Whit was the rider. Maybe a future Bronc rider? Someone told me in the old days that the Bronc riders had to ride for 10 seconds instead of eight. No fences or corrals, just get on and stay on.

Debbie Anderson’s mother Judy and husband Bill Bennett have gone back to Texas after spending time in the area watching great-grandchildren, Math and Anderson, show at the fair.
