| Tobacco Valley Rodeo July 2017 | |
| We were in the midst of enjoying our time with
      Cassy & Serene when the time came for the annual Tobacco Valley
      Rodeo.  Eric's Dad accompanied us for a great evening's
      entertainment, and some chatting with local friends.  A good time was
      had by all. | |

| Mutton Bustin' is always a highlight of any event.  This cowgirl lost
  her hat, but seemed to feel right at home on her wild ride. | This sheep must have been "Steel Wool" or maybe "Baaad To the
  Bone", they also had one named "Coyote Killer." |

| Junior bronc riding | This little Shetland looks harmless, but I'll bet I know one boy who would disagree | 
|   My point exactly. |  | 
| Now on to the grown up riding, which also looks a bit painful. | |

|   Hippity-hop races, I think the prize was a rifle |  | 
| Two trick riders put on a great demonstration | |

| Upside down riding | She isn't falling off, just riding around this way. Hope she washes her hands afterward!! | 
|  |  | 
| Woo hoo! | It was too dark for me to get very many good shots of the bull riding. Here you see a clown doing a good job. |
