The Guthrie County Fair held its annual Mutton Busting and Grand River Rodeo at the Grandstands Friday, Sept. 4. Both events were delayed due to uncertain weather conditions, with Mutton Busting starting at 6:30 p.m. and the Grand River Rodeo starting at 7 p.m.
There were more than 15 participants for mutton busting at this year’s fair and just under 10 for the rodeo.
