Work on Highway 190 will continue next week for the Lake Success Rehabilitation Project and will require one way traffic control along about five miles of Highway 190 east of Porterville near Springville for pavement rehabilitation.

"It will be a blowout like never before here," veteran public address announcer Wayne Brooks trumpeted Sunday near the close of the 99th event.

According to the weatherman, it will be in the high 80s and zero chance of rain for this weekend, just right for the 65th Annual Springville Sierra Rodeo.

Tulare County Sheriff*s Department Sgt. Kevin Kemmerling of the Porterville Substation had a busy year in 2012.

As former wagon master Kevin Gibson said, the 52nd Jackass Mail Run is a seriously fun occasion.

The end of April is historically the busiest time of the year in terms of festivals, events and more, and this weekend is no exception.
