Bareback, Saddle Bronc, Bull Riding, Calf Roping, Team Roping, Steer Wrestling & Barrel Racing.
Spending the night at the Rodeo sure puts a smile on my face. Classic western Americana at it's best.
The weather was perfect this year; the rain held off an the sun found scattered clouds to play a game of hide and seek in. I enjoyed watching all the people enjoying themselves. It;s always funny to see how people on vacation interact with the crowd as well as the rodeo clown. Rule #1 with the rodeo clown, he doesn't have to be P.C.. Why? Because what happens here in Montana happens because that's how it goes. If you get his joke and you are offended, it's more than likely not the first time you heard someone say it. If you're far from home and you've heard it before, you may be the only one pretending to be offended by something that is quite likely based on truth.
Each of the three nights of rodeo, is followed by patriotic music and fireworks. When they dim the fairground lights and the colorful flashes of firework lights erupt with the beautiful mountain peeks as a back drop, I sink into my seat a soak it all in. I'm proud to be an American. America, Montana and the Rodeo; one statement says it all..............Love it or Leave it!
Happy 4th of July!
