Rodeo Night - Day 82

It was Thursday night, so it was Rodeo Night around the corner from the Treason's. It was their biggest rodeo of the year and was announced in the small local paper (next to the cute puppy story):

It was big; I'd say they had about a hundred spectators, and had brought in a half dozen extra bulls just for the event. Fun stuff. After the Pledge of Allegiance and an on-horse cowboy playing a tenor saxophone version of the Star Spangled Banner, the bull riding began.

After a few rides, some lasting the full 8 seconds and some just a second or two, they brought out all the kids for the boot scramble. This is where all the kids un-shod themselves, and walk around barefoot in a manure minefield. They even did a stint at Simon Says, just to get the kids to roll around in it. Oddly, the mothers on hand were encouraging their kids to do it. The winner is the kid who can run across the patties, slip on his/her boots, and run back to the starting line. Not much to it, but it was hilarious to watch. I'm training for next year's competition.

Today, Mr. T and I are gonna head for La La Land and pick up an old Chevy, as long as the car checks out and runs.
