C29—Lancastar Fiwfat, Saturday, May 17,1980
BUCK The Keystone
Rodeo Company galloped
into the Buck Saturday for
an exhibition of bucking,
roping and ruling.
Opening ceremonies, one
of the more colorful events,
were welcomed by the crowd
as riders m matching gear
and swirling flags galloped
through figure eights and
formations to thrill the
spectators
New animals and old rodeo
s.andbys provided ex
citement for the crowd as the
cowboys dusted off their
gear and welcomed in the
1980 rodeo season. While the
action was planned for the
ring, the spectators got a
little action of their own.
During the bucking horse
event, one of the new
animals stormed out of the
chute, hurled his nder with
fury and blew through the
gates at the far end of the
arena like a tornado. Several
spectators were flattened
during the mount’s exit, and
one ambulance attendant
was injured. Jan Carson, the
girl who rides the Brahma
bull, suffered lacerations of
the head, and Sam
Swearingen a broken foot in
the mishap.
After the excitement
settled down in the stands,
the rodeo continued with
Keith Isley, the rodeo clown
provided some risky but
necessary assistance to
riders entangled in gear
when they were thrown
Michael Rhmeer Jr.

his trick roping, and a trick
riding team rounded out the
afternoon’s events.
Calf roping is always one of the crowd favorites.
Saturday's event proved no exception as riders
tried their luck at catching fleetfooted calves
