Friday night I went with Sean and two other steer wrestlers to the Rodeo in Forrest City. The steers were horrible and Sean never even got a chance to
get off his steer. The arena was very small but lots of people were there. Again, I wish I had a camera to take better quality pictures. We were in the middle of some crop field right next to the State
prison. I could just imagine a prison break happening in the middle of the rodeo and the escaped
prisoners coming to the rodeo to mug someone, take their clothes, and blend into the crowd and kill me. My imagine runs wild sometimes... Anyway, I've decided to make a picture montage of all the places I go with Sean this year. That way I remember everything and I don't get so bored sitting in the stands by myself. There are so many things interesting to see at these rodeos. Most of them are put on by
smaller towns and a lot of them are either part of a fair or some sort of festival. It's always fun to see the different types of folks that show up and see all the kids excited about the events. I guess I've been going to so many so long, it's lost all of the excitement for me, now it's just boring and I can't wait for it to be over. The
atmosphere at most of these rodeo's are so laid back and so slow. It seems that everyone forgets the
hustle and
bustle of daily life and just lets time go in slow motion, I like that feeling. It seems weird I think of the rodeo as slow and laid back because all the events are timed and everyone is in a hurry to get their steer thrown, or calf roped, but it's just the whole small town "old west" atmosphere that seems slow; the southern drawls, the lemonade and iced tea, the kids running wild, warm sticky weather, the lazy
mosquitoes, and the smell of leather. Don't tell Sean but I kind of like this lifestyle.
