Not sure who they are but if they know what's good for them they'll be taking notes when Zeke rides!

Zeke is pretty good aboard a bronc and fun to watch ride. But us desert guys gotta hang together. The Wright boys are as fine as the Good Lord makes them and plumb sticky!!!!! My money is on the Utah boys to win the world titles in saddle bronc and all around.

We go the last four days every year. I have sent the money for our tickets. If they have already canceled Ft. Worth for next year, I will be surprised if they can have it.

I guess we are going to see what happens in the next few weeks, as to whether we go......have a motel room already...

According to Drovers and my County Extension Agent,
The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo has been Cancelled.

I had heard about FW being cancelled last week. That really sucks for a lot of kids. The fear-mongering and cowardice associated with this crap has really been absolutely stupid.

As for us, we prefer going to Las Vegas for a WNFR. Then again, we like to gamble (some) and see Las Vegas all decorated for Christmas. Been there before and Vegas really turns out for the rodeo cowboy and I'm a "former" one (team roper).

The Great Western Stock Show & Rodeo in Denver was cancelled for this year (2021) and so was there very popular Indian Pow Wow.

It bothers us that these things were cancelled, but, at our age (early 70's), with this virus thing, we wouldn't have gone anyway.

Anyway, we now have the Cowboy Channel and can watch all rodeos "live" on Roku.

My wife has already had both of her Covid 19 vaccines and I get my #2 tomorrow. Hopefully, this summer, there will be rodeos we will be able to attend, including, for the first time, Dodge City, Kansas.

The Pendleton Roundup is scheduled for this Sept. 15-18. Tickets on sale now. I doubt I will go as it draws big crowds and at my age with vestibular problems, this can be difficult. I plan to attend all the small local rodeos especially the ones with our local tribes sponsoring pow wows.
