Residents of Whitby will get a chance to live a little of that dream when the rodeo comes to town on thle weekend of September 12 and 13.

The dance will start at 7 p.m. in the parking lot of the Dominion Plaza on Brock Street South. The chamber will be hiring a western band and the stage and picnic tables will be provided by the Whitby Parks and Recreation Depart- ment. The dance will also have a mechanical bull, provided by the Corral Restaurant, Oshawa, for those who want to find out what it is like to ride the bucking bull. The Whitby Rotary Club will have their mobile unit on the scene to provide a flapjack dinner for the dancers at a minimal cost. However, admission to the dance itself is free. Throughout the week, the chamber will try to instili cowboy fever in local residents - especially those shop- ping downtown. Anyone found without a cowboy hat on their head in the downtown area that week will be thrown into the stockade for a couple of minutes. The town is also hoping to put up a portable jail in which to hold the most serious offenders. Hopefully the entire downtown will have a western air about it throughout the week with merchants display- ing western apparell.
