A full day of activities is planned for Rorketon tomorrow, as the community holds it's 3rd annual Rorketon Ripper.  

A stock dog competition highlights the day, and Callie Clark explains how the event works. 

"The handlers will take the herding dogs and chase usually three cattle through different obstacles.  Each cow is worth one point through each obstacle, and the objective is to have the most points.  If there is a tie, then you go to the time.  So you want to have the fastest time and the most amount of points." 

Other events include a pancake breakfast, a trade show and yard sale, beer gardens, and a supper. 

The day will also mark the 50th anniversary of the Rorketon 4-H club, with the club running a concession and having a group photo taken of current and past members.  

It all takes place on the Lawrence Recreation Grounds.
