As we blogged earlier, we are celebrating Washington Archives Month in October in our state. This year’s theme is Fairs and Festivals.

In keeping with the theme, this photo features trick riders at the Ritzville Rodeo in 1920.

Check out the link to the Archives Month website, where you can learn about workshops and other free events related to the State Archives throughout October, plus access to this year’s Archives Month poster. If you want to pick up a free printed copy of the Archives Month poster, stop by our Executive Office in the Legislative Building on the Capitol Campus in Olympia, the State Archives office at 1129 Washington St. SE in Olympia, or one of the regional branches in Bellevue, Bellingham, Cheney or Ellensburg.
