Redding Rodeo

Woodland Fairy Tale, originally uploaded by inmost_light.

I went to the Redding Rodeo for the first time. If you didn’t go this year or have never been, here is what you may have missed:

• Critiquing the treatment of the animals. Don’t worry the calves were wearing helmets.
• A gay rodeo clown attempting to flirt with your male friend.
• Eagerly watching angry animals attempt to injure humans. Oh, the bloodlust!
• Being so close to the ring that dirt flies on you when the animals run by.
• Drinking too much then searching the ground for change to buy more drinks.
• Watching an elderly lady have ice thrown on her.
• Seeing your friend nearly run over his drunken sister.

Good times!
