Farm Credit gave us "customer appreciation" tickets to the round up for today's performance. I am not sure how much I appreciate them. Two hours driving each way, $20 to park and 4 hours sitting on those hard grandstand benches. My rear end may never be the same. They also gave us a $15 each voucher for food. Trouble is a corn dog and a bottle of water cost $16. I would hate to price what it would cost to really have something to eat. Good thing neither of us drinks. Walked by the beer stand. Beer was $7 a cup. And not a very big cup.
But the rodeo was good. The boys were there and the horses bucked. This whole rodeo is pretty darn western. All the rodeos with a slow motion grand entry to start their rodeo need to go to Pendleton and take note. Their start is pretty wild. They say if you want to be a princess or the queen you had better be a cowgirl, because they do come riding.
