Enlightened giving

A group of former Colorama leaders from earlier days emptied their coffers and gave $5,000 toward the cost of putting new lights up at the Ridge Riders Rodeo Grounds just in time for the 55th Colorama celebration that includes the Pro-West Rodeo. From the left are Monty Fields, Kary Byam, Jack Hilson, current Ridge Rider President George Kohout, Bill Brashears and Carl Russell. The group had put money aside for special community projects and selected the lights as their final project. Some of the new lights can be seen above the group of six. — Roger S. Lucas photo
