Grand entry, grand old flag

“The Grand Entry” to this week’s Days of the Old West rodeo in Hailey was a spectacular display of red, white and blue on horseback. Flag bearers this year were Amber McMurdo, Kelly Fredrickson, Michelle Bobbitt, Carrie Sigglin, Brandy Swainston and Buffy Childers. The final rodeo show is tonight at 7 p.m. followed by fireworks.
