Clearwater Chamber plans branding event

The irons will be hot, Wednesday, July 19, but there won't be a herd of cattle waiting to be branded.

Instead, rodeo enthusiasts and Clearwater Chamber of Commerce members are invited to bring a branding iron and leave a mark on the support beams in front of the new building at the Clearwater Rodeo grounds, located along West Highway 275.

The event is a prelude to Saturday's Rough Stock Challenge, slated to start with a calcutta at 7 p.m.

Branding will begin at 7 p.m. Cost will be $100 per brand, which includes a steak dinner following the branding.

Individuals who do not have a brand are also welcome to attend. A plate will be available for $20 per person.
