BUTTE VALLEY, CA – Shane Dunning’s memorial roping was held Feb. 22 at Norm Witt’s Saddle Creek Ranch. Shane’s wife, Dena, did a great job of getting it together, with a lot of good people helping by bringing food for the potluck. A lot of friends and family were on hand, including Dena, Shane’s daughter Shelby, as well as his nephew and stepmom.
