from page 1Exerciseneeds to be determined along which routes people will be evacuated, and how to evacu-ate those people with mobility issues.

Though the buffalo pasture was suggested as a possible safe area, Gordon explained if it were a sheer matter of survival, the pas-ture could be used. However, the floodwaters would destroy much of the town resulting in possible blockage, and those in the pasture might find themselves sitting on the shore of a very large, very toxic lake for a long time before help arrives.

Gordon also mentioned there have been discussions of using Thermopolis Middle School and the fire hall as shelters. He point-ed out that’s not a good idea as emergency services would be extremely busy. Also, if this were to happen on a school day, stu-dents from area schools would likely be us-ing the middle school

At 45 minutes into the meeting, Gordon noted the time they had spent discussing is-sues would be the same amount they would need to evacuate, “and we aren’t even out of

town yet.”Getting people out of danger is a top pri-

ority, Gordon said, and people need to have plans for themselves, so they can leave quick-ly and be gone for a long time. He further noted there wouldn’t be a lot in town to come back to if this incident happens.

The meeting was the first exercise re-garding a yearlong preparation for if the dam breaks. A workshop is planned for lat-er this year, followed by a tabletop exercise, functional exercise and a full-scale exercise.

over a week before the Thermop-olis Cowboy Rendezvous PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys As-sociation) Rodeo hits town. This year’s rodeo is June 23-26.

There are 197 entrants, and that may go up with re-entries. Mead-Ellis explained when en-trants put in their information a computer selects which events they will compete. If there is a scheduling conflict, cowboys will go in and re-enter. She fur-ther noted they expecting to get more top names this year.

There’s also been a great bunch of volunteers who’ve

stepped up to help in various ar-eas, Mead-Ellis said. These jobs are also important, as every year the PRCA has awards for the rodeos they put on. Thermopo-lis has been nominated for Best Small Town Rodeo in an Outdoor Setting in past years, Mead-Ellis said, and it’s her hope to win it.

The rodeo activities start at 9 a.m. June 24 with rodeo slack at the fairgrounds. Admission is free. At 4 p.m. the same day, the rodeo gates and the vendor alley open. Vendors include food and other items. A Wild Bunch members only dinner is sched-uled for the fairgrounds at 5:30 p.m., and the performance gets

underway at 7 p.m. with Patri-otic Night; red, white and blue are the colors of the evening, which will honor veterans and those currently serving.

June 25, things get started with a free pancake breakfast at the fairgrounds, and be sure to check out the parade at 10 a.m. The route will travel east from Shoshoni Street, along Sixth, turn at the light and head east to the VFW. The parade will include the running of the bucking horses, and Mead-Ellis reminds everyone these are wild animals and people need to stay behind tape lines for their own safety.

After the parade, its back to the

fairgrounds for the Chuck Mead Memorial Pack Horse Race, be-ginning at 1 p.m. In the evening, performance again starts at 7 p.m., with the Tough Enough to Wear Pink theme. People are en-couraged to come out in pink to show their support for those bat-tling cancer.

The fun winds down with a dance for everyone that night. Though past years have seen the dance at the fairgrounds, this year’s will be in the Thermopolis downtown.
