The heat did not prevent throngs of fans from attending Allen County Fair Rodeo.

Heat may have played a factor in that no participant registered a qualifying time in the bareback and bull riding competitions. The cowboys and cowgirls who finished in the other competitions walked away with a share of the more $7,000 in prize money handed out.
Creek Rogers won first…
