5 Bucks for Lots of Bucking

Every Saturday and Wednesday night the local rodeo takes place on Snow King Avenue at 8 pm. Being too young to even remember the first time I saw one, I had to go. The rodeo participants range in age, and activities include bull riding, barrel racing, calf roping, and more. At one point I was lucky enough to get to stand in the area where the riders get on the bulls before they open the gate. I had no idea how much went into the process, and it was definitely nerve racking to be up close. New fact: bulls cannot run in circles well which is why the riders run in a circle when they are bucked off.


Taken from my phone so not the best shot.
