Workers at the Newport Rodeo Arena preparing to continue excavating the ground, Wednesday, May 13 in Newport. The Newport Rodeo Association is disposing of a 1-foot layer of rock that was risking the safety of contestants in the arena. By the end of next week, up to 100 loads of soil will replace the dug-out ground. President Ray Hanson encourages residents with concerns about the work to contact him or another member of the Newport Rodeo Association.
