Dog Days of August 2008

August & Dog Days of Summer 2008 have arrived! That means Rodeos, Old Cowhand Reunions in Northwest Oklahoma as parents get ready to send their children back to school in a few weeks. AND... least we forget about the "Dog Days of Summer."

As to Rodeos & Cowhand Reunions, Freedom, Oklahoma, West and South of Alva, Oklahoma, in northwest Oklahoma will be celebrating it's 71st Old Cowhand Reunion & Biggest Open Rodeo, August 14-16, 2008.

If you haven't been to one of Freedom's unique western festivals, then you might want to mark your calendar now for a unique, old time cowhand reunion, rodeo and dancing in the western main streets of Freedom, Oklahoma, USA.

A week before Freedom's Rodeo you might set aside another stop over in Waynoka, Oklahoma for their annual Cimarron Stampede & Rodeo. AND... don't forget to visit the Sand Dunes south of Waynoka, Oklahoma.

As to the '57 Boys choir photo we showed in the last two Issues of the OkieLegacy, Gary Tanner gave us another couple of names to add to the list of Alva boys in the '57 Neumans Boys choir: Steve Hanson and (?) Geis.

On another note... We want to extend a big welcome to Wanda from Farmington, New Mexico, a neighbor to the South of Colorado. Yep! Vallecito is a great place and the lake is so full this year as is the green valley below with all the snowpack we received this last Winter.

Keep COOL during these "Dog Days" of Summer 2008. AND... if you know of someone who would like to subscribe to our "OkieLegacy Ezine," send them the following link: OkieLegacy Subscription Link and let them insert their email address.
