Letter: Benton-Franklin rodeo deserved better coverage
The Benton-Franklin County Fair Board worked very hard this year to attract top 10 cowboys and livestock by upping the prize money and changing contractors. Good action, nationally known cowboys and great livestock made for wonderful shows five nights this week. Was there even a mention of the winners?
These guys and gals go on to Pendleton and the National Rodeo Finals by winning here! Rodeo is a sport. Stands were filled and people enjoyed the show. I think you can cover the local events and work to be a “local” paper once again.
Editor’s note: The names of the event winners appeared in the Aug. 28 edition.
