The rodeo is kickass and the womenz are pretty.
Awesome people!

A neighbors kid up the road behind us is a now retired pro bareback bronco rider. He's a badass to say the least.
I'm hoping when time permits in a couple years from now, to document the local county rodeos in this region and give it a little more exposure.

The recommendation for The Pit Room BBQ was a great one, thanks Chris. At 8:00 last night most stuff was sold out, but the beef sausage was great, as was the turkey my wife had.

It was a work event. We had one of the WAAAAAAYYYYY up high skyboxes. Good food, free drinks, bad view. I car-pooled so I had no input on arrival or departure. I wanted to go over to the carnival, but no one was interested.

Let me just say, you Texans know how to put on a rodeo, that was simply amazing. We truly spent the entire day there yesterday and didn’t come anywhere close to seeing everything. The highlight had to introducing my wife to mutton busting, hard to believe that someone who grew up on a farm had never heard of/seen it before. A big thanks to everyone for all the advice and a huge thank you to Chris(Stangkiller) for hooking us up with great seats, that truly was an amazing day.

Sorry the weather delays meant we didn’t have the chance to grab a drink with anyone, but I’m pretty confident that we will be back. As always, vettebarn is the best!

Glad you were able to make it down! Safe travels!

This is my first year in those seats, I'm really liking them, unfortunately you cant' really see the mutton bustin from there, so hopefully next year we can get switched to the other side of the arena, but regardless I really like the view from there.
