Yes. Seems like the rodeo slack is always better.
And when I say I've never been to a good rodeo in Rapid City,
I don't just mean at the Stock Show. I mean at the Fair too.
And why do they brag up Sutton at the Stock Show when his
stock is really sorry and usually pretty darn thin then?
Of course, we haven't gone to the Stock Show rodeo for
a few years, so maybe it's better now, but it wasn't at one time.
CUZ HE IS THE BIG DOG AND DON'T NUTHIN' HAPPEN AS FAR As rodeo there unless they say so


Figures...

Justin, Faster, et al, I'll go if you go Smile.............. actually I'm going either way, that was just a challenge to you folks. I'll be there the 20th - 22nd.
Send a PM if you are going and would want to get together. the 22nd Im heading to ND to warmer weather than NM. But just for a short sample of it.

As for Denver, I was there last year for the first time. I think it was worth seeing, but all shows have way too much wash and fluff for this guy. Add on the fact that you are a pimp for your cattle and I guess I won't attend for a while.

The yards are something to see though. The catwalk seems like it is 1/2 mile long. I don't know how, but they seem to think they need more room. I saw an article that said they were looking at needing 300 acres to make their vision. As is they have +- 100. The article said there were 2 plans. One has to do with a soft drink bottling company next door and the other has to do with moving to Aurora next to a hotel that is about to go up. I thought the stock show was big but according to the article the new hotel/convention center will have 1500 rooms Shocked Shocked Sorry, I don't want to stay in the same place as 1499 other groups.
