Some area 4-H members competed at the Sioux Falls Area 4-H Regional Rodeo this past weekend at the WH Lyons Fairgrounds. Landree Zoss of Forestburg competed in the goat tying event and brought home the championship buckle with a time of 10.4 seconds, which qualified her for the State 4-H Rodeo Finals in August.

She ended the competition on Saturday tied in points for All-Around Champion for junior girls with her first-place finish in flag race and second-place time of 10.6 seconds in goat tying. On Sunday, she won the flag race again and earned third place in goat tying. Fouberg is now qualified for state in flags, pole bending and goat tying.

On Thursday, June 15, a pickup pulling a trailer traveling on SD Highway 34 through Woonsocket didn’t quite make it across the tracks before a train came through and hit the trailer. The damage to the trailer was minimal with two ramps being torn off, and there were no injuries reported. However, the train had to wait for investigators to come from Sioux City to survey the accident and damages before it could continue, so the highway was blocked, and traffic had to be rerouted for over two hours. The Sanborn County Sheriff’s Office and South Dakota Highway Patrol were on the scene to help direct traffic. All of this information is preliminary and any additional information received will be reported in a later issue of the SWJ.
