Thanks to firemen

To the editor,

The Rocky Mountain Riders Club and the Smith Valley Saddle Club would like to thank the Columbia Falls Fire Department for coming to the RMR Saddle Club grounds on Saturday and Sunday, July 17-18, and watering the arena before the two-day Western Division O-Mok-See.

The fire department had a water truck there each morning to water the arena before the games began. The watered arena made the riding in the 90 degree temperature bearable.

There were more than 60 riders from Troy, Libby, Kalispell, Eureka and Columbia Falls for the weekend, and they'd all like to thank the firefighters for their services.
