Wild Horse RoundupSeptember 10, 2004 We really had a house full this weekend with Steve’s family being here. There was our two granddaughters, 7 great grandkids and Steve and Debbie. We all went to Kit Carson Day which we enjoyed seeing old friends and all the activities. Jon, Ruth, Jay and Patty Sinnes were there from Security visiting friends they seldom see. There was a nice parade and a crowd enjoyed a good barbecue. Ernie Hammer gave Steve and the kids a ride in his wagon which they enjoyed. Tony might have been the teamster. Marty and I along with the help of Brenda Hammer judged the tricycles and bicycles. It wasn’t easy as there were some nice ones. Steve did some patching on Marty’s and our roof before they went home Saturday evening. Marty and I went to the Melodrama Thursday evening and it was a good one as usual. A lot of work goes into it. It made me think back when it started in Kits Keg, a little building south of the hardware that held 65 people, so we had to put on a lot of shows. The first show one of the dancing girls came to the bar and asked if I served ladies so I sang "Every Day is Ladies Day with Me" and that was the start of the singing bartender. During one show an incident happened that was funny and not so funny. Rho-Ho the rooster (Glen Derby) stomped his foot so hard he broke a bone in his food and it hurt so bad he had to go out and lay down in a camper. It has been about 30 years since the first one and it now has a permanent place in the old pool hall.

Congratulations to Irene Gade for being chosen Good Scout of the year at Kit Carson Day. I read in the Hugo paper that an old friend of mine had passed away. Bill Timmons and I made quite a few trips together hauling cattle when he worked for Shorty LaBorde. Our thoughts and prayers are with Harriet and family. We just had a phone call from Steve and he said he and Deb were flying back to Ohio Wednesday to help Natalie take care of the kids. They are staying five days. Scott Lafferty and family are visiting his folks over the long weekend. They live in Westcliffe and he drives a cement truck. The Ernie Hammer’s enjoyed their grandchildren and families. They watched the kids running races and such at Kit Carson Day. Brenda enjoyed having her folks from Colorado Springs.
