Serving Proudly As The Voice Of Valley County Since 1913
A cowboy holds on to his hat while being thrown from a bull at the Hinsdale Rodeo on July 3.
The stands were packed for the 40th Annual Hinsdale, Montana Rodeo the evening of July 3. Fair weather, clear skies and the smell of the grill filled the air as rodeo contenders showed off their skills in everything from barrel racing and calf roping to bronc and bull riding. There was even a fun exhibition of youth wild-pony riding and a kids' boot race to lighten the mood – suffice it to say that some young ones went home with muddy socks and a crisp new dollar bill.
Myron Malnaa announced the showing of rodeo cowboys and cowgirls from across the region. The event, which kicks off Hinsdale's Milk River Days, attracted dozens of hopefuls looking to finish in the money. Like every other year the rodeo was followed by the Hinsdale Street Dance to kick of the Eve of the Fourth of July.
