Monday night slack

Jody Green of Marlow, Okla., takes a calf to the ground in the tie-down roping event at Slack Monday night at the Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo Grounds. Ron Payne, the 2008 chairman of the Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo, stated they "are selling tickets at a rapid pace, so if you want to assure you get yours, you need to buy them as soon as possible." The weather forecast is also showing a cooling trend for the rodeo which will kick off on Wednesday night.
