Recent rains in the Big Country were a boon to area residents, but have turned the arena at the Doc Beazley Six White Horses Center into a lake.

Rather than postpone the selection of her team for 2006-2007, program director Debbie Jones announced that current and prospective riders will meet at the Taylor County Expo Center, the Roy Bozark Arena (Gate C) for Tuesday's tryouts. Jones anticipates a slight delay as participants make the drive to the Expo Center, but things should get underway by 5:30 p.m.

The public is invited to watch as the judges attempt to fill 4 empty saddles. Hope to see you there!
