The Watch Lake/Green Lake Gymkhana was a great success again on July 13 with great weather.
Many thanks go out to all the volunteers who help out in this event. The gymkhana had many old-time favourites, such as the barrel, stake and keyhole races, as well as the poplar musical tires.
The next Watch Lake/Green Lake Gymkhana is scheduled for Aug. 10.
