The rain stayed mainly above the plains surrounding Hot Springs this past weekend, and that was a good thing.
It was a bit windy at times as was evident to rodeo goers Sunday afternoon at the rodeo grounds, but nary a discouraging word was heard.
The occasion was the 75th Annual Homesteader Days festival and rodeo, the Spa City’s annual celebration of its past and present. And although there were a few empty seats in the usually crowded rodeo bleachers, the show was special as always.
