Busy weekend in our community. Hats off to the Lyon County Fair Organizers and volunteers. Spent a wonderful evening on Friday at the Fair Grounds watching the rodeo. Have had the chance to serve on two rodeo committees for top 50 rodeos in the US and in my opinion the rodeo on Friday night ranked right up there with the big time rodeo shows around the country. The quality of the athletes, livestock, specialty acts and "crowd energy" added up to outstanding entertainment value.
Saturday decided to explore the region with a driving trip. Hard to believe how much corn there is within a 50 mile radius. Even ran into a couple of traffic jams along the way. Not the usual variety. South or Redwood a truck transporting a wind tower needed about an hour to make the turn from one road to the next. The additional detour allowed me to discover a couple of communities that were well off of my beaten path.
Later that evening stopped by another delay caused by a car pedestrian accident. While the details aren't very clear, the accident scene required multiple law enforcement vehicles, an ambulance, and eventually the arrival of a medivac helicopter. Very impressive to watch it land on the county road, retrieve the accident victim, and fly off to provide the much needed medical treatment.
Sunday afternoon on the golf course was interesting as the normal serenity of the course was covered with the roar of the big Tractor Pull at the Fair Grounds. The stands, again looked to be crowed, and the excitement spread in every direction.
Who says nothing interesting ever happens in this town?
