Robert Butler The annual Lometa FFA Junior Rodeo continues through Saturday at the Lometa Regional Park with action beginning nightly at 8 p.m.

Buckles will be presented to allaround cowboys and cowgirls and to high-point winners in each age division: pee wee, 8 and under; intermediate, 9-12; junior, 13-15; and senior, 16-19.

All events will feature a jackpot nightly. Free mutton busting also is on the schedule.

Tommy Green Rodeo Co. is the stock contractor.

Robert Butler, a longtime FFA Rodeo supporter and past rodeo announcer, will be the parade grand marshal.

Last year’s annual Lometa FFA Rodeo and Parade garnered a huge response, due to the dedication of FFA youth and local communities, said event organizers.

After a nine-year hiatus, more than 50 entries participated, consisting of numerous businesses and organizations.

This year’s parade is Saturday at 11 a.m. Participants will line up at Lometa School on Main Street just after 9 a.m.

More categories for entry are open this year, and recognition will go to entries in first, second and third places.

This year’s theme is based on the Olympics, “Let’s go for the gold Olympics Texas Style.” Winter and summer events will be included, and anyone who enjoys either season’s events is encouraged to enter a float, bicycle, vehicle, motorcycle, horse or other entry of their own creation.

Kids and pets also are invited to enter. A prize will be awarded to the best dressed pet and owner.

To take part in the parade, phone Terri Harris at 752-3800 or Lisa VanNatta at 752-8996.

Lometa will hold an all-school reunion from 1-4 p.m. in the school cafeteria for anyone who has attended Lometa Independent School District.

Each class is responsible for bringing their snack, sandwiches and finger foods. Cold drinks will be sold.

A barbecue supper and music will follow the reunion at 4:30 p.m. Bring lawn chairs to the park to continue to visit with classmates.

Payton Bayer and the Rosewood Pistols will play at a dance Saturday night.
