Local cowboy Kellyo Gallaher got the jump on this ropin' calf, eventually getting the lariat around the calf's neck and making a successful tie down, all part of the recently completed, 2024 rendition of the Dayton Days-Columbia County Fair Association Jackpot Rodeo, held at the Columbia County Fairgrounds.
The Columbia County Fair Hostesses for 2024 were resplendent on this year's float as it proceeded down Dayton's Main Street during the Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Dayton Days Parade.
