A look back at the stories that made the news in the Blue Mountain eagle in 2023.
This month-by-month retrospective covers a wide range of topics, from rodeo queens to fighting bulls, political tussles to acts of charity, the Grant County Fair to the Blue Mountain Hospital.
Scores of spectators filled the stands and thrilled to the spectacle of bucking broncs, angry bulls, fast and nimble horses and the skill of cowboys and cowgirls competing at the annual ICA Rodeo at the Grant County Fairgrounds.
The ICA Rodeo, which kicks off the Grant County Fair, was held over two nights in the Iron Triangle Outdoor Arena, Aug. 4 and 5, where the smell of Kettle Corn and barbecue filled the cool summer night air.
