Troy Gerard, of Savona, struggles to wrestle a steer to the ground at Keremeos Elks Rodeo on Monday. Heavy rains on Sunday made for very muddy grounds and some of that mud persisted into Monday. Monday was warm and sunny, with only a brief light sprinkling of rain. Contestants competed in bronc riding, calf roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing, bull riding and more. The rodeo is held annually on the May long weekend. Princeton’s rodeo is coming up on June 13 and 14. (Richard McGuire photo)
