Aug. 11—MOSES LAKE — It being the Grant County Fair next week — and the fair being all about tradition — Fair Week kicks off Friday with the traditional Cowboy Breakfast. Breakfast will be served starting at 7 a.m. in Sinkiuse Square, next to the Moses Lake Post Office.
Admission is $12 for adults and $10 for children younger than 12 years of age.
Tradition also will continue with the crowning of a new queen of the rodeo and the selection of the best buckaroo at the Pee Wee Stampede. Contestants will line up for the grand entry at 9 a.m.
Breakfast is sponsored by the Moses Lake Kiwanis chapter, the Columbia Basin Rodeo Association, the Moses Lake Senior Center, Mason's Place coffee shop and AgriSured (Tom and Stacey Cobb).
Senior center volunteers will be cooking the waffles and eggs, said Kiwanis president James Shank, and Mason's provides the coffee. The fence panels are put up by rodeo association volunteers, and AgriSured sponsors the Pee Wee Stampede. The Kiwanis collect the ticket money and man the chow line, Shank said.
"We do the coordination, and we're doing the serving," he said.
Shank said the breakfast is something club members like to do to promote the fair and rodeo, and just do for fun.
"It's a community event," Shank said. "We try to make enough to pay the expenses. That's all we look to do is cover the costs."
Local deejay Dale Roth is scheduled to provide music.
The Pee Wee Stampede is for children nine years of age and younger, with a maximum of 10 entrants per event. The children ride their stick horses in the grand entry, try their hand at calf roping a stationary cow head, ride a stick horse bucking bronco (with a chute and everything), and participate in the Little Miss Moses Lake Roundup contest. Contestants sign up at the breakfast, and entry is free.
