Memorial Day is the time when all the Barker Family comes to Elba, young and old...granpa's, grandma's, cousins, neices, nephews, in-laws, & outlaws. The cold rainy weather threatened to hamper this year's celebrations, but tradition can't be done away with that easily.

The roping crew...Drew, Call, Parker, & Cash tried their best to catch a calf out of the chute with their ropes. Call got going a little too fast and went for a slide in the mud! |
