Canadian (Special) Charles
Schultz, world's famous rodeo
clown aiid his stoogie, Moonshine,
lias promised his complete bag of
stunts for the 17th annual Anvil
Park Rodeo here July 2-3-4.
iMoonshine, a typical Missouri
mule is a star in his own right. He
m ay be depended upon to do right
the opposite to his master and
keeps the clown in hot water
every minute they are in the
arena. The mule has performed
before the largest rodeo crowds in
America and is in constant de-
mand by the larger shows.
Schultz, a native Oklahoman,
has grown up around greater
rodeos and counts his western fri-
ends by the thousands. Unlike
most clowns, Schultz presents a
completely new show each yedr
with almost unbelievable tricks
proving his capabilities as a
rider, roper and general per-
former .
Not content with mere argue-
ments with Moonshine, the clown
challenges a Brahma Bull to a
fight and the take off on bull
fighting he presents is a riot of
an act crammed with danger,
agility and humor.
Proving he is as modern as to-
morrow, Schultz has incorporated
a bucking flivver in his act that
deals him as much trouble as the
mule and afford many laughs to
relieve the tenseness of rodeo
contests.
Schultz is only one of the many
famous personages that will ap-
pear on the program of this year's
event. Nationally known men
and women, contestants have
signed contracts to be here —as
well as waddies of local range
country. Anvil Park Rodeo is a
Contest event where each contest-
ant draws for his mount and
awards are made to the most
skilled in each event.
Practically every news service
will have expert writers here for
the three day rodeo that is rap-
'dly becomming the foremost
frontier celebration of the west.
