Philip Masonic Rascal Rodeo
The annual Philip Masonic Rascal Rodeo, Saturday, July 29, was geared for fun by contestants and audience alike.
The Philip Roping Arena saw young cowboys and cowgirls of four different age brackets entered in seven different events. Competition began at noon this year.
The goat tying involved older kids on horse back, or younger kids on foot untying a ribbon from the tail of a tethered goat. The younger kids could have an older person lead them through the barrel route. Some events were intentionally geared so those entries did not need to have a horse. Kids could enter any or all of the events.
All the entry fees collected went back to the top winners in each event. As in previous years, the kids seemed to appreciate the other prizes, such as halters, straps, spurs, ropes and hoof knives.
Livestock was provided by local producers and organizations.

HUNTER Strong Benefit Breakfast
HUNTER Strong! A community-wide fundraiser breakfast, sponsored by the Philip Masonic Lodge #153, was held Saturday, August 26, at the Bad River Senior Citizen’s Center. The menu included pancakes, sausage, eggs, biscuits and gravy, coffee and juice. The free will donations were supplemented with $1,500 from the Philip branch of Modern Woodmen. One hundred percent of the proceeds, totaling $4,700, went to the Peterson family. Their teenage son, Hunter, is recovering from extreme leg injuries incurred during an agriculture work-related four-wheel accident on August 13.
