Rascal Rodeo rode in to town on Saturday, September 2, 2023 to the Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days Arena. Rascal Rodeo began 10 years ago as a school project done by Ann-Erica Whitemarsh where she created a rodeo for people with disabilities to get a chance to be a cowboy or cowgirl for a day.
The SOAR program is created for the people who are in it. It is from their voices that each and every social and recreational event is designed around. A few months back I had participants asking about volunteer opportunities. After having a year with most of our participants I have had the privilege of getting to know them. Their likes, dislikes, and personalities. Taking all these things into consideration, the best opportunity would be at the BMAC Food Distribution.

A look into our week of fun!
Max Park spent about 10 seconds studying the jumbled Rubik’s Cube in front of him at the Pride in Long Beach World Cube Assn. competition last weekend.

Tony Snell, a former NBA first-round pick of the Chicago Bulls in 2013, revealed Friday that he was diagnosed with autism last year.
Snell, 31, learned his diagnosis after he and his wife noticed that their son, Karter, wasn’t reaching developmental milestones quickly enough. The two took their son to the doctor, and he was diagnosed with autism. Snell told NBC’s "TODAY" that he began to think about himself and later got evaluated.
