Woolly rider hangs on for show-stopping ride Christopher Peck, 8, of Carey, puts a stranglehold grip on an accommodating sheep and hangs on for dear life during the popular sheep riding?a.k.a. mutton bustin??event at the 2005 Blaine County Fair in Carey. The event was part of the Little Kids Rodeo Friday at the Carey Arena, which also included goat tying and calf riding. Peck?s analysis of what was perhaps the best ride of the night was simple: ?It was fun.? The fair, which ran from Aug. 9 through Aug. 13, was deemed a great success. Full results of the competitions will be published in the Express at a later date. Photo by Willy Cook
