The 62nd Mother Lode Round-Up wrapped up Sunday with a Mother’s Day breakfast, Cowboy Church, a kids rodeo and a second day of PRCA rodeo action. Presented by the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Posse, the event is billed as a tribute to Western heritage and a celebration of small-town tradition. A week ago, 16-year-old Rayna Rogers, a Jamestown resident and a junior at Sonora Union High School, was crowned this year’s rodeo queen. For more on the Round-Up, go to www.facebook.com/mlroundup.
