The opening ceremonies included the grand parade. It was really neat to see all the horses and riders marching around with flags and such. |
|
|
|
And of course, no rodeo is complete without the clowns ! |
|
|
|
The flag bearers raced through the arena at the end of the opening ceremonies. |
|
|
|
The calf scramble contestants march into the arena to get ready for the big chase. Justin is in the middle (nbr 8). |
|
|
|
And the chase is on ! RUN Kids ! Run Calves ! |
|
|
|
Justin (on the right) is closing in. He actually got the calf in his grip and someone else ran into him and knocked him down so the calf got away. |
|
|
|
Justin didn't end up with a calf but that's OK, the rest of the rodeo was great too. |
|
|
|
The big guys were catching the calves all night long ... but they had some help from their horses though !!! |
|
|
|
One of the best parts of the rodeo is always the chuckwagon races. These are really action packed !! |
|
|
|
And the final event of the night was the bull riding - OUCH ! - that just looks like it hurts ... and he's still on the bull !! |
