Actively involved in team roping runaway steers, it's the only event'in rodeo where two team contestants perform in a timed event. . Thirty seconds is allowed and the fastest time determines the winner. Gary and one of his partners, Rick Cook: of Leaskdale, have done team , roping skillfully within seven seconds and are currently placing third in the province as they head into the finals this weekend. Another event he used to enter was gaddle bron riding but after tompeting in the 1992 finals he gave it up.

"Team roping isn't quite as physically demanding -and there's probably less incidence of injury" the forty year old told the Citizen in an interview last week. Like father, like son, his young son, Raymond, is involved, in rodeo too. Weighing 60 pounds, Raymond's been competing in the Mutton Bustin' event for three years now, Riding on the backs of sheep weighing more than double his weight, at the tender age of 8 years, Raymond already has a DURHAM 4-H SWINE CLUB would like to thank the following businesses for purchasing a pig at the 4-H Swine Club Auction at the Blackstock Fair on Saturday, August 26th.
