Left to right, Uncle Duane, Uncle Roy (RIP), and dad. This was taken just before the three of them when off to the Worlds Fair in Brussels Belgium in 1958 with the Rodeo. The rodeo was broke before they got there, as the promoter ran off with the money. I guess the corrals were not built, all the cowboys got to work with building them, there was a guy that was guarding the board pile, while he was chasing down some on the end there would be someone on the other taking boards. While advents were going someone would shoot the poor announcer in the but with a bb gun, and he would say "Who do that to me". Dad talks about the bread and the beer was pretty good there. At the end of the Fair dad and his brothers and one other guy were thinking about take a tour across Europe with the horses, but then the guy an the American Embassy told them that the Government would get them back to the states, and if they didn't go he didn't care if they ever got home. They went home, dad had just enough money to get them train tickets back to Colorado.
