Glenwood Days another successful year!
Submitted by: Kathy Thomas

It was another successful Glenwood Days, thanks to the Village Council, the Glenwood Recreation Board, and the Riding Club. Friday night, chili burgers and watermelon were served to those that attended. Watermelon was a change from past years, and was served because of the unknown condition of this year's corn crop.

The "rodeo" consisted of an egg toss, "chariot races," and a goat chase where kids tried to pull off suckers that were taped to a goat. Thanks to Craig and Colleen Smith, who were gracious enough to put their goats through a little bit of trauma. The highlight for the kids was the mechanical barrel bronc ride. Powered by the strength and energy of Doral, Dennis, and Clinton Lybbert, kids took their 8 second ride to fame.

The fun continued on Saturday morning with pinatas and children's activities, south of the library, the sidewalk sale, and exciting events on main street. In the lawn mower races, Vicki Smith beat out all competitors on her John Deere tractor. 2nd place was Tanner Judd from Cardston and 3rd place was Clinton Lybbert.
