f you’re a cowboy in Montana, or even if you’re a cowboy from another state choosing to compete in Montana because of the competitive, high-paying Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit, the Western Montana Fair and its rodeo here in Missoula might be one of your favorite rodeos. It’s one of the larger rodeos in Montana, Billie Harms of the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit tells us. And as a cowboy notes, it’s a chance to tangle with good stock, perform before a big crowd and take home some sizable winnings.

It’s also one of more than 30 rodeos in the state of Montana that are sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, or PRCA. That means a good performance here can help a cowboy or cowgirl qualify for the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit Finals – the highest-paying finals of any rodeo circuit in the country – and those cash winnings in Missoula will also count toward deciding what cowboys advance to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in December. Only the top 12 competitors in each event advance to the NFR. Some of the best cowboys and cowgirls in

the region will be on hand when the Western Montana Fair gets under way.

But the other athletes to pay attention to are the animals. They love competing, too, rodeo athletes say.

“The bucking stock have really nice lives,” says former bronc rider Shane Moran, who retired in 2015. Moran notes that a good bucking horses might typically perform only 10 times in a seaon for eight seconds at a time.

“A minute and a half of work in a season is a nice life,” he said.

Take in the Western Montana Fair, if you get the chance, and catch some of the rodeo if you can. It’s your opportunity to see man and beast at work, doing what they love to carry on an Old West tradition.

Art City

art city

Story and photo by Dorinda Troutman

Art City is in the oldest commercial wood frame building in Hamilton. Once the home of the Western News newspaper, it has also housed a millinery, an upholstery, and a dry goods store with a sign shop upstairs. Current featured artist is Heidi Cielinski, an art quilter.

W

“

e’re cool!” states Lorna Gabel, long-time member of Art City, an artist’s co-op gallery in Hamilton.

Gabel rents a studio up the creaky narrow stairs in the little old building on Main Street. Gabel learned her ink and water color art in Bali, from traditional miniature artists, while teaching art overseas. She sells her cards, original art and prints in the shop.

Vivian Yang and her cousin Beth Lo are the owners of the building. They began their pottery in the 1970s in a dilapidated, soon-to-be demolished building that had been an egg warehouse next to a little unused false-fronted store with a very long history. That empty store became Art City.

Yang was lured by Lo to Hamilton from Illinois, where she had earned a degree in education while falling in love with making pottery.

“I couldn’t get enough of it. I took as many classes in pottery as I could. I was so lucky to move to Hamilton. My family and the art community here were so welcoming. I had a kiln, equipment and the chance to experiment. I didn’t know what I was doing at first, but in time became a production potter. Everything just fell into place,” says Yang.

Soon the cousins had purchased the little building that they and other artists had been renting.

“We put on a new roof and painted it. I think that roof and paint have held it together all these years,” laughs Yang.

In the 1980s Lo took a job teaching ceramics at UM and moved to Missoula. Yang took over the pottery, and its studios for other artists. In the 1990s Yang built a new pottery studio to the rear of Art City, with living quarters upstairs for herself.

There was finally room and the impetus from artists to open an art gallery in the older building.

Art City was remodeled at bit, and at first was only open during the holiday season, but soon, with artists agreeing to work half or full days in the shop, the store opened for regular hours three days a week.

Now, in conjunction with downtown Hamilton Fourth Friday celebrations, Art City holds openings for a featured artist, and shows the artist’s works for two months. Currently the featured artist is Heidi Cielinski, who creates small art quilts in textured fabric collages influenced by nature. Her show will run through July 30.

I August and September, another artist will be featured.

Find a great variety of artwork and crafts for sale at Art City by member artists including cards and prints, wood craft, fiber art, handmade soap, photography, art glass, pottery, batik wearable art, jewelry, and paintings. Artist don’t need to be a coop member to consign, but fees are less for active members.

Lorna Gabel smiles. “Viven’ (Vivian Yang) always says ‘Once an art citizen, always an art citizen.’ All artists are welcome.”

Find Art City at 407 W. Main Street, Hamilton.

Hours are Thursday and Friday, 11 to 5 and Saturday 11 to 4 (or by chance or appointment).

For more information, call 406-363-4764.

Fair-y Tales Western Montana Fair’s roots date to 1874

By Corridor staff

photo courtesy western montana fair

B

efore there was a Missoula County Fairgrounds/Western Montana Fair, there was a Western Montana Agricultural, Mechanical and Mineral Association Inc. It was incorporated at the Missoula County Courthouse in November 1874 as a tip of the hat to the industries so important to western Montana.

But that group knew what it needed, and one year later, in 1875, a committee selected a site and drew up by-laws for a fair association.

Organizers found a suitable fair site in the the eastern half of what is now 39th Street, Russell Street, South Avenue and Paxson Street. And they set construction in motion. By April 1876, workers had built a one-mile race track, 60 feet wide, at a cost of what might have seemed like a lot of money then – $400.

The Missoula Fair and Racing Association was the next innovation for the Missoula area. It was organized in 1886, historians say, with the goal of breathing new life into the fair. Organizers also hunted for a new location at which to stage the annual

event. They found the site they wanted in 1888, one and a half miles northwest of Missoula and south of the Northern Pacific tracks. A speed line ran to the edge of the fairgrounds to unload stock. The federal government owned the site, which remained in use as a fair venue until 1914. Missoula County did a favor for its taxpayers by using prisoners to help build a road to the new facility.

Over time, the fair found its way to what is now the Missoula County Fairgrounds.

Missoula County commissioners first discussed the purchase of property for a permanent location for the fairgrounds in 1911, but it wasn’t until 1913 that the current site was purchased. The price tag? A mere $16,000.

In addition the Western Montana Fair, fair personnel book more than 100 events each year. Call 406-721-3247 for complete information about renting the facility or booking an event.

he Montana Brewers Association tells Corridor there were 21 breweries in Montana in 2008; 51 by 2015; about 64 now; and 70 breweries total, if you count the ones that are still in the planning stages.

Granted, a much smaller number of those breweries are located near Missoula, but quite a few are.

That should give an idea of what’s in store at the First Annual Western Montana Brewfest, a first-time event at the 2016 Western Montana Fair. Even if only some of those breweries decide to visit the fair, fair-goers with a fondness for beer still will get to taste some of the best craft beers in the area.

“It’s not going to be your downtown brewfest with 40 or 50 brewers. It’s going to be a nice, smaller mix of probably six to 10,” said Tom Aldrich, support services coordinator for the Missoula Fairgrounds Events Center.

Brew Crew But, he added, for beer fanciers, it might be even more interesting than a much larger event.

“It’s a more intimate event. The breweries are going to be there serving customers directly and telling about the beer and how they made it,” Aldrich said.

It happens Friday, Aug. 12, from 5:30-10 p.m. in the Missoula Fairgrounds Culinary Building.

For customers, the cost is $12 and includes a wristband, commemorative cup and two drink tokens. Additional tokens are $2 each.

Participating brewers are being asked to supply a minimum of two ¼ barrel kegs, with taps, jockey boxes and staff to serve the beer.

The Blues Festival is held at Salish Point Park in Polson along the sunny shores of Flathead Lake. This festival has become a main event for so many. Organizers say it’s like an extended family and they are thankful to loyal attendees as the celebration continues bringing music and culture to the greater Polson community.

The show on Friday, Aug. 19, showcases non-stop music with Robin Barrett and the Coyote Kings from Washington, the CD Woodbury Band from Washington, Polly O’Keary and the Rhythm Method from Washington and Randy Oxford’s All-Star Slam also from Washington.

The lineup on Saturday, Aug. 20, will feature the Blue Moon from Montana, the shuffle bums for Montana, West Coast Women’s Blues Reviews from Oregon and the Chris O’Leary Band from New York.

The event features bands that love to play this venue – the lake, the mountains and the audience makes it a premier music event for the summertime. Tickets sold out in 2015 and organizers expecting a record crowd for this summer. Tickets can be pre purchased at the Sandpiper Art Gallery, 306 Main in Polson, Montana, or at the UPS store on Highway 93 in Polson. Purchase your tickets in advance to get a discount.

The Friday Night Show will start at 6 p.m. and play till midnight and the Saturday show will start at 4 p.m. and play till 10 p.m.

Napa Demolition Derby will smash up 1980s-era automobiles in main event

By Corridor staff

f you learned to drive in the 1980s with fits and starts – if you absolutely hated the family car your parents drove back then – then the final night of the Western Montana Fair is for you.

Those vintage 1980s automobiles will get what’s coming to them in the Missoula Napa Demolition Derby, one of the historic sell-out events at the fair.

“It’s a nice finale to the fair,” said Tom Aldrich, support services coordinator at the Missoula Fairgrounds Events Center, noting that it starts at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 14. “The derby gets a huge, huge crowd. It’s fast-paced and exciting and people seem to love it.”

And a big change this year could make things even more lively.

“They used to use ‘70s-era cars and now they’ve moved it up into the ‘80s,” Aldrich said. “The main class is now 1980-89 mid-sized cars. We expect that will attract a lot more drivers. A mid-sized car from the ‘80s, they’re easier to find and less expensive.”

There still will be a separate “Old Iron Class” for pre-1980s automobiles; but the 1980-89 field will bear the brunt of the action in the main event.

Besides bragging rights for being the best driver out there, competitors will be gunning their engines for thousands of dollars in prize money.

Reserved seating is $16 for adults or $12 for youth.

Battle of the Bands will rock Western Montana Fair

By Corridor Staff

I

t’s got to be a tough gig for the judges. For the first time ever, the Western Montana Fair will ask them to sift and sort the best music from a three-day “Battle of the Bands” from across the region.

From Aug. 10-13 at the Western Montana Fair, organizers expect to see 30 to 50 bands lining up to play their best songs.

Learn more about the event at http://missoulabattleofthebands.com/.

“What we’re really trying to do is focus on professional development for some of these young bands. We’re interested in promoting artists and helping them achieve their goals,” said Matt Anglen of Back Porch LLC, a start-up company that is helping coordinate the event. “Right now we’ve seen a good amount of interest. I’ve worked in Missoula with artists and events like there and I know there are a large number of bands out there looking for places to perform and chances to do something like this.”

The first annual Battle of the Bands is sponsored by 105.9 JACK FM as a means to showcase both youth and adult talent from Missoula and the surrounding region. There will be winners selected in both the youth category and the adult category, as well as a Best in Show winner, Anglen said.

Preliminary rounds will be held at the Western Montana Fair Free Stage Aug. 10-12 from 4-10 p.m. during the fair. Finalists will be decided by a panel of judges as well as audience votes. Finals will occur on Saturday, Aug. 13, followed by an awards ceremony and performances by the winners of the youth and adult categories.

From 30 to 50 bands are expected to compete during the first-ever “Battle of the Bands” at the Western Montana Fair. thinkstock photo.

Winners will perform at Stage 112 at a date to be determined and will share in the proceeds of the concert.

The Western Montana Fair provides an ideal venue for young musicians, Anglen said.

“From what I’ve been told, they see about 60,000 people annually through there so you’ll definitely have a big crowd. People come in from the Bitterroot and from all over the state. It’s a chance to get yourself out there and even if you don’t win, to play your music in front of a lot of people.”

The downside of some similar events is that they can turn into popularity contests, not real evaluations of musicianship, Anglen said. This Battle of the Bands tries to avoid that by using both a panel of judges and audience participation to evaluate bands.

“We decided to mix those two,” Anglen said. “That’s the important thing about being a musician – having an audience. So really the audience makes up one of the judges, in a sense.”

There’s no direct cost to the bands to participate.

“We didn’t want to have a registration fee to make it a little more accessible. But we are asking bands to sell tickets. Those will be available on our website.”

Tickets are the same as general admission. So for $6, a buyer gets general admission to the fair as well as the chance to hear the bands brawl it out on a hot summer night in Missoula.

bull mania PBR Bullorama brings professional bull riders to Missoula

By Corridor staff

B

ack in the good old days, bull riding used to be an amateur event at the fair in Missoula.

But the cowboys and the fair took things to a new level quite a few years back when the Missoula competition became a PBR event – as in “Professional Bull Riders.” So what you see now, for one night only at the Western Montana Fair in Missoula, is the PBR Bullorama.

It’s set for Wednesday, Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $16 for adults, $12 for youths, $12 for open bleachers.

The PBR Bullorama is possible because Western Montana Fair is part of the nationwide Touring Pro Division of the Professional Bull Riders Association. As the premier rough stock event at the fair, the Bullorama will bring colorful favorites such as Matt Triplett and Shane Proctor into town for the big event.

photo provided by western montana fair

The Professional Bull Riders organized in 1992 through the efforts of about 20 bull riders and now has more than 1,200 cowboy members in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand. In its first two decades, PBR events have given away more than $140 million in prize money.

But the great performers out there aren’t just the riders; some bulls have a knack for this, too. Two-time PBR stock contractor of the year Jeff Robinson’s best bulls are real athletes, and they’ll be on hand. Standouts such as Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation’s Gun Powder and Lead and old timers like Slim’s Ghost will doing their best to land cowboys in the dirt.

But the bulls don’t know what the cowboys do … that riders will be competing for more than $10,000 to be awarded that night for the riders who do the best at sticking to the back of a 2,000-pound bull.

Hang on to your hats; it will be a wild ride.

ranch style Ranch rodeo offers a different take on an old tradition

By Corridor staff

E

ven some fans of professional rodeo have never seen a ranch rodeo.

And that’s a pity, because that’s where most professional rodeo events started – from the actual things that cowboys and cowgirls do on the ranch every day, such as riding, roping, busting broncs. Everything but bull riding had its beginnings in ranch life.

That’s why a quiet move to get back to that kind of competition is slowly moving across the west in events such as the one that comes to the Western Montana Fair on Tuesday, Aug. 9, at 7 p.m. The cost of the two-hour show is $10 per person general admission.

Only eight teams will be accepted, each made up of five members. Both men and women have to be represented on each team.

photo provided by western montana fair

But the events are nothing like professional rodeo. Instead, they will compete in team branding; team sorting; team doctoring; ranch bronc riding; trailer loading; and wild cow milking.

“It’s definitely the stuff they do on a working ranch,” says Pirrie Harris, who helps coordinate rodeo events for the Western Montana Fair. “It’s a family friendly event. Most of them are family teams.”

It’s now the third year for the ranch rodeo, and last year’s attendance was up from the initial year as more people figure out what it’s about.

People like it, Harris said, because it’s the authentic cowboy skills that families needed to manage a herd of livestock in the West.

“Where everything starts is at the ranch,” Harris said.

ight seconds is a heck of a ride in the PRCA Pro Rodeo – but what about a ride that’s lasted 101 years?

As organizers point out, that’s the case with the Missoula Stampede Rodeo. Now a recognized PRCA Pro Rodeo event, it dates all the way back to 1915, long before the PRCA was formed, when cowboys fretting about the first world war taking shape in Europe still managed to saddle up and have a good time.

That tradition continues in 2016 – 101 years later and counting – when cowboys and cowgirls gather once again at the Missoula County Fairgrounds, 1101 South Ave. W. They’ll be competing for points that could help carry them all the way to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, or PRCA, dates to 1936, when some cowboys famously walked out of a rodeo at Boston Garden to protest a rodeo promoter’s refusal to add cowboys’ entry fees to the purse. The cowboy “strike” won that fight and the cowboys organized the Cowboys’ Turtle Association – slow to act but unafraid to stick their necks out. The organization changed to the Rodeo Cowboys Association in 1945 and then became the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association in 1975.

The PRCA Pro Rodeo in Missoula is part of the nationwide Ram Rodeo Series.

And it’s also, says former bronc rider Shane Moran, who retired in 2015, a big favorite with a lot of cowboys.

“I hit it every year when I was going. It was one of my favorite rodeos,” Moran said. “They had good stock, the setting was good, they had a large crowd.”

oran added that the competition was good, too – perhaps bolstered by the fact that the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit has more than 30 PRCA events every year, and the payout is good.

Moran formerly served on the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit board.

And, adds Billie Harms, who handles media relations for the circuit, the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit Finals has a larger payout than any other circuit finals.

That’s making for some great competition because riders from other states want to hit the Montana events. That makes Montana one of the tougher circuits, Moran said.

In Missoula, Ram Rodeo contestants this year are competing for more than $40,000 in purse money. Each night cowboys compete in Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, Bull Riding, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping and Tie Down Roping. Professional cowgirls compete in WPRA Barrel Racing.

National favorites such as Trevor Brazile and Luke Branquinho are likely to be on hand, along with Montana favorites such as Beau Hill and Jesse Kruse.

Rodeo performances are set for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 1113, starting at 7 p.m. each night. Tickets are $16 for adults, $12 for youth and $12 dollars for open bleachers/general admission.

few years ago, when Missoula’s River City Roots Festival was still fairly new, it was recognized as the “2009 Montana Tourism Event of the Year.”

It’s now in its 11th year, and the 2016 festival promises to be better than ever as the Missoula Downtown Association rolls out another must-see event for western Montana residents and visitors.

Most of the action happens Friday and Saturday, Aug. 26-27, 2016 River City Roots Fest draws more than 15,000 individuals to downtown Missoula, the heart of western Montana, for a variety of activities and music. And it won’t hurt your pocket book: the two-day festival is free.

Organizers say the art and entertainment is topshelf, with live performances on a big stage on West Main Street, a fine art show, entertainment for children and families, and a four-mile run through the heart of Missoula, Roots Fest brings a weekend of family fun to the heart of the community.

The Juried Art Show also takes place on West Main Street. A Children’s Fun Fest is planned for Caras Park. A food court will set up on Ryman Street. The four-mile run winds through Greenough Park and Downtown.

Symphony in the Park

by Lucy Beighle

F

or twelve years running, the Missoula Symphony Orchestra has offered the community a summer treat. A treasure. A gift. A free outdoor concert in Caras Park in the heart of Missoula, on the banks of the Clark Fork River. There is no more idyllic setting for the annual “Symphony in the Park,” and the feeling of community and amity is palpable on the second Sunday in August year after

year.

“The beauty of this concert is it brings out people from all over the community,” says John Driscoll, executive director of the Missoula Symphony Orchestra. “You’ll run into your neighbor, your eighth-grade math teacher and your favorite barista from the coffee shop. I can honestly say this show has something for everyone, and that is reflected in the diversity of the crowd.” The concert is one of Missoula’s most popular events and draws crowds of 5,000, not including the onlookers from the bridge and those pulling off the river in inner tubes.

Darko Butorac, who will be in his 10th season as music director of the orchestra, has a hard time containing his enthusiasm about the concert. “This is my favorite concert of

the year, bar none,” he said. “The energy from the crowd is contagious, and the variety of music in the repertoire is tremendously fun to select. The program is quite varied, as it is every year – we’ll have some classical pieces from Verdi, a movie score or two, a little Duke Ellington and lots of 80s hits, including some honoring the late Prince and David Bowie. And as always, expect a few surprises. It promises to be great, great fun, and the crowd should get ready for their best ‘86 prom dance moves.”

Although many people bring a picnic, concert-goers also have the option of purchasing dinner and cocktails from on-site vendors. Picnic or not, Driscoll recommends getting to the concert early to get a good spot, and bringing a lawn chair or blanket to sit. For those who want to ensure a place, limited reserved seating is available for advance purchase through the symphony office.

“Symphony in the Park” takes place on Sunday, August 14 at 7 p.m. in Caras Park.

Festival Amadeus Montana classical music festival brings exceptional artists to Whitefish and Bigfork

T

he Flathead Valley is one of the rare places on earth where you can explore the majesty of nature by day followed by the luxury of an expertly performed chamber or orchestra concert by night. Music will rise to the mountain tops on August 8-14, 2016 when Festival Amadeus, Montana’s only week-long festival of classical music launches its seventh season.

Centered in the mountain resort town of Whitefish, the Festival week is chock full of activities including open rehearsals with the guest artists and special educational events and receptions. Three Chamber concerts, featuring the Festival guest soloists, will be held concurrently in the village of Bigfork, on Flathead Lake on August 9-11.

Although Festival Amadeus is focused on the music of Mozart it also offers diverse repertoire performed by an engaging lineup of highly acclaimed guest soloists who perform in intimate chamber concerts and with the Festival Amadeus Orchestra.

provided photo

M

ark your calendars for the last week of August because it’s going be the hottest week for summer music when the Crown Guitar Workshop and Festival celebrates it’s love of all things guitar on Aug. 28-Sept. 3, 2016 in Bigfork, Montana. It will be “Workshop by day, Festival by Night” as this unique event showcases world-class Artists in Residence who teach during the day and perform at night in six collaborative concerts. Concerts are held under a Big Top tent in the meadow at Flathead Lake Lodge, in Bigfork.

The line-up of artists this year is a diverse mix of established and emerging artists across all guitar genres. Launching the Festival on Sunday, Aug. 28 will be rock/ songwriter legend, Jim Messina who brings his band to the Crown Festival Stage. A supremely talented guitarist, Messina has worked as both a musician and recording engineer and producer for such iconic bands as the Buffalo Springfield and Poco. In 1970 Messina collaborated with the promising young songwriter Kenny Loggins and they became one of the most successful recording duos ever. His musical journey spans four decades, garnering him Grammy® awards in a range of styles, from such hits as Listen To A Country Song to his more recent Under a Mojito Moon flavored by Spanish and Cuban influences.

New artists to the Crown Guitar Festival in 2016 include Brent Mason, a Nashville session guitarist who is one of the most recorded guitarists in history, Liz Longley a rising country star, Punch Brothers guitarist Chris Eldridge, Gypsy Jazz artist Gonzalo Bergara and SoloDuo, a pair of classical guitarists from Italy.

Master Guitarists are Scheduled to Perform for 2016 Crown Guitar Festival

Returning for his seventh year is Crown favorite, jazz maestro Lee Ritenour. This year he brings along the five uber-talented winners of his international Six String Theory competition. Also returning to teach and perform during the week will be Grammy®winner Dweezil Zappa, son of Frank Zappa; Jazz fusion prodigy Julian Lage; Rocker Shane Theriot, music director for the band Hall and Oats and the Grammy-awarded producer of the television music show Live from Daryl’s House; and Steely Dan guitarist and music director, Jon Herington.

A special “Crown Preview” party on Saturday Aug. 27, at Flathead Lake Brewing Company will start the week of music. Featured guitarist is Josh Turner, a Crown Emerging Artist, with additional artists to be announced. The $10 entrance fee is a fundraiser to support Randi Tunnel, a Bigfork high school guitar teacher to attend the weeklong Crown Workshop.

All Festival concerts start at 7 pm with gates opening at 6 pm at Flathead Lake Lodge with beer, wine and food vendors available. On Saturday, Sept. 3, gates open early at 4 pm for outdoor music, food, wine and beer. Tickets have been streamlined to eliminate online service charges; all seats are $40 per night and there is a new youth ticket price of $20 for age 18 and under. Tickets will be $5 more at the gate day of show. A Crown Pass option provides a ticket to six concerts plus admission to a special meet and greet event with Jim Messina after his concert. For complete information about the Workshop and Festival visit www.crownguitarfest.org. Purchase tickets at www.crownguitarfest.tix. com or call 406-471-8757.

HIGH FLYING SEAGULLS

Citizens in Britain are warned to be on guard for deranged seagulls influenced by a natural acid secreted by flying ants, their favorite treat during this time of year. The swarms of flying insects are unavoidably attractive to the birds, but the formic acid contained in the ants causes distraction and excitement in the seagulls to the point that they forget to look where they’re going and often fly into buildings, cars and pedestrians.

GRIN AND BEAR IT

Around

the Weird by rachel crisp philips

A Colorado man successfully lassoed and wrestled down a bear whose head had become stuck in a plastic jug of cheese balls. The incapacitated bear had been spotted with the jug on its head numerous times over the preceding week, but always wandered away before authorities were able to assist. Not wanting the bear to come to further harm, the man lassoed the animal around its middle and wrestled it into submission, before the animal retreated up a tree. At that point, authorities were able to tranquilize the bear and cut off the impeding plastic jug to free the wild animal. The bear is expected to make a full recovery, as is the man who underwent stitches for a cut on his arm from the bear’s claws. (upi.com)

BACON DEFENSE

An 86-year old English woman successfully fought off a potential thief with a packet of bacon. The woman was followed from an ATM to a supermarket by the would-be criminal, where cash was demanded. However, the elderly woman picked fight over flight and began hitting the offender with a package of cured bacon. Once assaulted, the attempted thief gave up and fled the scene. (Telegraph)
