MOSES LAKE – The Moses Lake Roundup, an annual rodeo event held at the Grant County Fairgrounds, wrapped up on Saturday with winners named in eight competitions. “I think it was great this year,” Roundup Volunteer Corbett Kolst said. “I love it every year.

The competition began Thursday, opening with a pre-show that had mutton busting and other warm-up events.
