Friday evening's ranch feed will be in the Anderson Building beginning at 6 p.m. Come in out of the heat and enjoy a delicious dinner while visiting with friends and family. Then take in the popular ranch rodeo and businessman mugging and enjoy the blues band "Randon Tuesday" at the barbecue cook-off. Teams that have placed in area Ranch Rodeos from surrounding counties will compete at 7 p.m., at the Lyon County Fairgrounds arena. Each event is a race against the clock, with bonus points being awarded in each event. Again this year we will have the Businessman's Mugging. This contest will consist of four members per team. Members of the team will have a time limit to mug a steer to the ground. The team with the best time wins. Ten teams will have a chance to enter. The first nine teams that call will compete.
