Parades & Activities Galore! Round-Up Week Part 2
Lehi Loop
June 27, 2024
TOGETHER WITH
Good morning, Lehi. “Okay, boys!”… continuing the Round-Up week theme! If you catch that reference from the 1994 movie 8 Seconds with Luke Perry and Stephen Baldwin, let us know!
There’s poetry in bull riding. Hopefully, many of you get the chance to witness the feat this week at the rodeo grounds. It takes a certain human spirit to hang on to something with all your might. I suppose there’s something equally poetic about letting go when the time is right.
Here’s to human spirit.
Let’s get to it.
