Fun for everyone at Wild West Daze
By Joan Janzen
Leader held their annual Wild West Daze from June 14th to 16th, beginning with a fish fry that has been a long standing popular feast. A slow pitch tournament was running throughout the weekend except for interruptions due to wind and rain. Most of the events took place on Saturday, beginning with a pancake breakfast and Saturday morning parade followed by the popular Grebble served at the Friendship Centre.

The Wild West Daze Mud Bog revved up at 1:00 p.m. for racers and spectators who filled the stands. Next to the excitement of trucks plowing through the mud, was a dash for cash where kids ages 4 to 13 made their way through the mud on foot. Colby Tiringer came in first, Luke Feiffer won second and Miles Greenwood came in third, winning $100 each. And all the kids took home a whole lot of mud and some great memories!
