Parking problem solved –– There will be plenty of parking space at the Hugo rodeo in June with the addition of 13 acres just north of the arena leased free to the Rodeo and Horse Club by George Shelton and Bailey Baker. The sites, which include four acres on the Shelton place and nine acres on the Baker place, are being cleared by Alvin Pyle, bulldozer operator who is donating his services. Access to the new parking areas will be from both the fairgrounds gate and the east entrance on space donated by Marshall Tullos, which is just east of the arena and was used last year. The new parking areas, together with space already available, will run the total to about 25 acres. From left to right are Todd Whatley, president of the Hugo Rodeo and Horse Club; Pyle, Baker and Shelton.
