Prior to the rodeo they marched out the past queens and introduced them all. Only in 1942 and 1943 did they not have royalty as WW2 canceled it.


The gal on the left was queen in 1937! :D She was quite the lady!


The graceful and beautiful lady with her glasses in her hair is my Mom! Hi Mom! She lurks around here once in awhile! Miss Ute Stampede 1964!
Which is quite the feat as I was born in '63! :shock: :shock: NOT! :D


An awesome veteran in a cowboy boot!


They brought a big American flag in via parachute! Who'd want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane? :shock: It was kinda cool to see!


Let's RODEO! Cotton Rosser's Flying U was the contractor. A bareback ride that went a ways. It should have as i've seen rougher rocking chairs! :D


Put this one in just for Justin! The bulldoggers either were under 6 seconds or laying on the ground blinking like a horned toad in a hail storm! A lot of steers ducked back and left the dogger with a lot of air.


This ol' kid covered three bare's. First horse went down and they gave him a 68 with an option. Second horse lost the flank strap but he got a 71 and an option. Last ride got him a 78 and second place in the go-round.


The guy in the pink shirt and black string tie is Cotton Rosser. He's 81 and still going strong. He has contracted stock at this rodeo for as long as I remember. Mom said he spoke at thier luncheon for past queens and was a hoot!


My camera battery was weakening so I tried to be chosey. A saddle bronc ride with some daylight under his butt!


As a used-to-be bullrider I still get the itch to ride now and then. But with a family to feed and some age it's better i just watch! :cry: Plus there must be a weight limit for the bullriders and I am a tad over it! :wink: Keep your mind in the middle pard!


The bull fighters were on the top of thier game. The guy on the right is Louie Jones and he saved me once or twice!


What's a rodeo without a carnival? Mrs. H and Little H took a few laps around the Ferris wheel while me and Littlest H stayed grounded!


The bunch on the merry-go-round! Littlest H was sitting pretty for the judges! :D


Little H took her brother on the "roller coaster worm"! :wink: She's a great sister!


And one last one of littlest H peeking! Going to a rodeo as a spectater isn't the same as competing, but this rodeo is a tradition we enjoy! Hope ya find your own hindquarters planted at a seat overlooking a rodeo ground soon! :D
