Cool August night at rodeo doesn't hurt performances
SIKESTON - The rain stayed away during the 52nd Annual Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo on Thursday, but Mother Nature wasn't totally kind as the temperature dropped into the 50s on what is normally an unbearably hot time of the year.

In the bull riding event, Clint Craig's ride of 94 points easily won him first place over the rest of the field. J. Byrd Morrow took second with 81 points followed by Howdy Cloud with 74 points in third place.
