Cy and I are big rodeo fans but we'd never seen the rodeo at the Fair before yesterday. We got lucky that the friendly staff at the Green River Community College offered us box seats for the 1:00 rodeo. Needless to say, our spot in the sun was a glorious place to spend our One Day Vacation. The cowboys, the stock, and the arena are impressive. We saw some of the best competitors in the world complete with playbacks on the big screen on either side of the stage. Eight seconds is never quite long enough to take in the whole spectacle. I am definitely going to make plans to buy my tickets early next year to be sure we're in the arena when the fun begins.
Have you been to this rodeo yet? What tips do you have for spectators who are new to this sport?

If the Pro Rodeo is not an option, I find whatever horse-related performances in the Paul Hamus Arena enjoyable (not that it really compares, but...). And of course, the Candle Booth in the "Crafts and more" hall is a must-do.
Hi Jill - I agree. The candle booth is one our "must do" list each year. I have some photos of it that I will post tomorrow. Thanks for the tip about the other Arena at the Fair. Does anyone know if we'll get to see the Canadian Mounties this year?
