This past summer I had the opportunity to attend my hometown's 100 anniversary July 10-15. Boss Cowman days in Lemmon, SD is an annual event that consists of a three day rodeo, parade, lip sync, Colgate Country Showdown, car show, Boss Cowman honoree supper, street dances under the tent on main street, along with many other events. Every year a couple from an agriculture background is chosen as honorees for that year. This award is such an honor, just four years ago my grandparents were elected as Boss Cowman honorees. They were grand marshall's for the rodeo and parade. At the supper my grandparents, their children and grandchildren were the honorary guests. A story is told about the couple, their history, the family and other interesting facts. Boss Cowman is celebrated every year during the second week of July in honor of the original Boss Cowman and founder of Lemmon, G.E. Lemmon himself.
