Leftover from the rodeo: Get’away Gal turns 80

Going through the notebook and still have this leftover tidbit from last weekend’s Athens Chamber of Commerce PRCA Rodeo …

Remember all those women dressed as rodeo clowns who attended Saturday night’s show? Well, they were all members of the Get’away Gals, a group of women who just like to have fun.

Saturday night, they were celebrating the birthday of one of their own. Zola Hilton (center, in the cool glasses) turned 80. Zola has a long history of being in the arena. In 1951 she was the Fort Worth Stock Show Queen! …. Happy belated birthday, Zola!
