Salute to America

Riding to the sound of the national anthem, Sawtooth Rangers Riding Club president Amber McMurdo bears the flag around Hailey Rodeo Arena Friday prior to the first of three Days of the Old West pro rodeo performances. PRCA cowboys collected a purse totaling $25,413 over the three holiday shows that attracted 255 “Cowboy Christmas” entries. Sunday’s Fourth of July show was a sell-out, with well over 3,000 spectators. Photo by Willy Cook
