In keeping with tradition, the Southern Ute Culture Department hosted a full afternoon of horse games and competitions at the Sky Ute Fairgrounds on Saturday, Sept. 16, in conjunction with the Southern Ute Tribal Fair Rodeo. Victors took home cash prizes in adult and youth categories ranging from bareback horse watermelon race to the best hand painted horse. The watermelon foot race was introduced this year, which proved to be a hit with participants of all ages.
