The funny thing is Josh and Ollie keep walking around announcing that this is their first rodeo. There is a saying in Texas, "This isn't my first rodeo" which loosely translates to, "I'm not an idiot."
Lol yeah, I definitely caught that too! 🤣
i think ttheyknewthat
I love using that saying because it's a fun yet blunt way to express myself.
Actually, the funniest part of the video is how they keep saying they are "at the rodeo", but really aren't. I live in Houston and have been to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo many times. They have barely made it through the gates and are on the edge of the fair.
promise it isn't just a Texas saying.
The event they watched is called calf roping. The horse is really well trained and the idea is to rope the calf and tie three legs together as fast as possible. This originated in the old west when calves were caught for branding. YES Please watch the next segment.
English salt marsh cattle ranching traditions are no more humane.
@@Bacopa68 It does NOT hurt the calf. Even the SPCA has said so, as have veterinarians.
Just so you guys know , rodeo animals are NEVER harmed. It sometimes may look brutal but the animals are not hurt , have the BEST veterinarians caring for them. In short they are treated like kings.
Never say never you know their are rodeos out there that animal do get hurt and or abused.
And the Bulls are treated like rockstars and get paid good money
@@bobbyspain5030 the animals are the rodeo BREAD & BUTTER. It behooves them to keep them In the best of health. But if you know any of them that are.....5 letters my friend.....ASPCA. (i hope ya got my cow joke) *Snickers* behooves....roflmao.
@@JustMe-gn6yf my cousin was a bull rider for several years , is saw a fair amount of them. And yes you are absolutely correct , they're treated like rockstars. Take care my friend.
@@jimrupe9991 the better the Bull the better the score
Turkey legs are standard at any rodeo, fairs or festivals in the US. Most are smoked and juicy.
Oh yea, we have turkey legs at our Minnesota state fair. Never got one myself, but fairs across the US are all about the food on a stick, or food easy to eat while walking.
Hard pass
The correct name is "The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo". There is so much more than shown. Also, at the end of the rodeo the is a live big name music performance. I live in the Houston area and have been many times. There is also a BBQ cook off with contestants from all over the US and other countries. The smell in the air is amazing.
I always heard it on the radio as 'The Houston Livestock show and Rodeo'. Did they shorten it?
@@thisisreallystupidhelp my bad miss type
@@alankemper4068 You're fine, I was just honestly unsure because I moved away years ago. Lol they could've changed the name completely by this point and I wouldn't know.
awww, this is where Selena performed her largest ever concert three weeks before she was killed. 😢❤
I wish they would have seen it all.But being "their first rodeo",I guess no one told them
All of the events in a rodeo are competition versions of the skills used every day by cowboys. Roping and "hog tying" the calf was for early branding. If you've ever tried to catch one calf from a herd in an open field you'd appreciate how hard that can be.
Or scaled down versions in the Mutton bustin.
Yes!! Texas is awesome!! We have Deserts, We have plaines, we have Forests and we have beaches all in 1 state!
The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo is every year, usually during the month of March. That’s the fairgrounds outside that they mostly walked around. The main rodeo competitions are inside the stadium. So they didn’t actually show the main rodeo events. Also, there’s a concert just about every night with huge country music stars along with other Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Tejano, etc but mostly country music.
Since the eighties the musical acts have been the main draw. And there has always been since that time a mix of race and culture among the headlining acts, even though it's mostly been a white country thing.
I'm an elementary music teacher here in Texas. Every year, I have students that go Mutton Bustin'. They love it. Some have very impressive times.
Mutton Bustin seems like it should be in Wales rather than Texas. I think Wales will one up this when they learn it is a thing.
I've see Extreme Dogs before and the distance those dogs can jump is insane, and highly entertaining!
At the yearly Renaissance Festivals, most people walk around holding a Turkey leg, while gnawing on it. Calf roping is related to roping the calves in order to tag/brand them.
@@awallace77 not the heifers,,,,,
Ollie has so many funny takes on things. Of course watch part 2. JOLLY is always a good watch.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is a month long event that is basically the county fair for one of the biggest counties in the US. There are all sort of things, concerts every night with big name bands. It is not "just" a rodeo. Last time I went, I watched a South Korean k-pop group.
Rodeos of different fashion take place throughout North America including Canada and Mexico (not just Texas). Bustin Broncos, claf roping, barrell racing, bull riding and other contest take place in the arena. Around the arena are various vendors like a sort of fair. Jolly is in the vending section and spend little time actually in the rodeo events. Regular rodeo events take place in Cheyenne, Wyoming and Cody, Wyoming as well as a few towns in Montana as annual or regularly scheduled events. Calgary also has a really large rodeo called The Calvary Stampede.
The Rodeo in Houston is more of a music festival than a rodeo, even though it's a big rodeo. There are real legit livestock exhibitions, including folks from the South Pacific asking for money to keep their pig breeds alive.
Also, this site was where most of the Harris County Covid Safe drive thru voting happened, and also a National Guard administered vaccine mega site where I got my first covid vaxes.
I have had two boosters since then, and no one has done it so well as the Medics and Nurses of our Guard.
I lived in Kansas while in Jr. High and we definitely had rodeos every year. I lived in Tucson, Arizona during high school and we had Rodeo Days in Tucson every February.
Here in Pleasant Grove, Utah where I now live, we have Strawberry Days every June with a carnival, parade and rodeo that goes along with it. My Granddaughters marched in the Strawberry Days parade with their cheer team last June, so I wonder if they'll march in it again this year.
@@SRHS83 One Grandson did a little mutton bustin and loved it.
And other states too.
@@sallyintucson yep
American-style professional rodeos generally comprise the following events: tie-down roping, team roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding, bull riding and barrel racing.
Some familiar movie stars competed in rodeos. Slim Pickens was a rodeo clown before doing movies, and Ben Johnson actually won the National Championship once in Team Roping after doing movies.
Houston has the largest rodeo over a two weekend period early in the year, but Fort Worth has rodeo every weekend at the Stockyards almost the entire year.
2 week period
I went this past year for the first time. I was so overwhelmed. More than 2 Million people attend it over its scheduled 3 weeks. I saw a cow sell for over $300K (£240K)! They also had a hot cheeto corn dog, deep fried twinkie, and fried bacon donut burger. Definitely worth going to if you get the chance!
Thanks from Texas! Glad you enjoyed it. The big rodeos like in Houston or San Antonio, also have a big concert in the arena after the competitions are done. Not just country/western stars, but performers of all genres of music - usually Big stars. It's a great day for the whole family. I hope you can experience it someday.
Mutton bustin’ is my favorite part of the annual Rodeo where I live. The reason the kids slide off is all that lanolin (natural oil) in the wool. They’re slippery! At most county fairs and rodeos in the US you will find fried EVERYTHING. Things vary state by state, region by region depending on where the people’s ancestors came from. My favorite is Fry Bread. 🌵
I wont forgive the ones who sold fried butter on a stick.... but things like fried ice cream I can get behind.
@@xDarkTrinityx Fried butter? 🤢
Giant turkey legs are a total staple at most fairs/festivals here. It’s completely ridiculous which is half the fun 🎉
They are really popular at Theme parks too like Universal Studios, Six Flags and so on.
Turkey legs are so freaking amazing. It’s impossible not to feel like Henry XIII when eating them 🤣 🍗
My mom was in her 70s when she went on a week -long cattle roundup (Watch the movie City Slickers) Her job was to wrestle the calves to the ground and notch their ears. She saved her paycheck for a souvenir.
Man I keep writing because this video kept getting better 😊 I can’t express enough how much we love u guys!
They went through the fairgrounds. The Rodeo is an actual event that typically will have separate tickets and include bronc riding, steer and calf roping, bareback riding, barrel racing and bull riding. Dog diving and dock jumping are competitive dog sports all over the country.
Usually a rodeo starts with the young kids and the lamb riding, it moves into a little older kids with tying up a young steer, it moves into barrel race where women race horses around a set of barrels to get fastest time, next the wild bronco riding where men ride wild horses that buck and sway and your job is get the longest time. The main event is bull riding where cowboys hang on for hopefully 8 seconds to score. These events are a recreation of skills used on cattle ranches across the US. Also the horses are used and you must gentle them slowly. The taming of horses is hard and you try to hold on to get a horse on your side.
They are at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. I live in Houston and this rodeo is huge. They raise millions of dollars for scholarships every year. I haven't been since the 1980's.
The Rodeo is basically the Ancient Greek Hecatomb. A festival where the wealthy transfer meat and money to the poorer classes through the roasting of animal flesh and awarding money to the winners. The Scholarship bidding is exactly the Hecatomb. One of my cousins got a half scholarship for two years because she had an impressive calf.
Houston performs the ancient ritual of the Hecatomb. The gods bless us.
I haven't been to an actual rodeo, but I've been to a team roping contest down in Texas. Two riders, one a header and one a healer, go after the calf and tie it, like you saw in the video. The fastest time per team wins. Country singer, George Strait and his son Bubba, participated in it.
I live in Texas and go to the rodeo every year 😊 It is so much fun, and the animals are very well taken care of!
Trust me when I say the Jolly guys are wrong when they say they are at the rodeo. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is massive! They barely made it through the gates! They only got to see a few of the attractions and ate the fair (carnival) food. The place where the true competitions happen occur is inside NRG stadium, where the Houston Texans NFL team plays. From this video and another they made there, it doesn't look like they saw the true rodeo, just the small part of the attractions.
They didn't even see the rodeo. The calf scramble is a must see.
The kids even get the calf if they get in the top placing ranks. Local sponsors like Chase Bank, Shell USA, and Mattress Mack of Gallery Furniture subsidize the cost.
And whatever you think of Mattress Mack's politics, he has done more than any local wealthy Catholic to do the "Works of Grace" as described in Matt 25. Vocational training programs for single mothers and on site daycare, and work-realese training programs for paroled prisoners.
Someone else probably has already mentioned that the riding time goal is 8 seconds, and it's better if they look cool while lasting that long (IMO).
BTW, please watch pt. 2!
I grew up in a suburb of Dallas called Mesquite. Our rodeo started in spring and went on every weekend for months. I don’t live there anymore but I’m betting it’s still going.
DFW born and raised. Its still going strong. Come back sometime!
The pickle pizza on a stick won for best new recipe at the rodeo this year
The rodeo is once a year. It’s about 4 weeks long. New Orleans has carnivale season that ends in Mardi Gras & Houston has rodeo season that runs the same time as carnivale
More people go to the Houston Rodeo than Mardi Gras.
One of the main reasons for roping a calf was to put it on your horse and move them if it couldn't keep up with the herd. Or to get the mother to follow you.
Yep I've done that
I'm guessing this is like fair food... The fried Oreos are amazing! My 9 year old ate the foot long corn dog at our Coastal Carolina Fair last October.😅
Ollie has a daughter named Juno. Josh & Gabbie ( wife) have been trying for a baby for awhile. Mr.Z is a Chef lol
Keep in mind, while Brits seem fixated on TX, that: N/S Dakota, NE, OK, CO, WY, MT, ID, UT, AZ, NV, CA, to name a few ALL have a rodeo tradition. There are rodeos as large or larger than Houston's: the Calgary Stampede (noted for its chuckwagon races ) and the National Finals Rodeo in LV.
Rodeo itself was originally a Mexican vaquero "thing" that got passed to Anglo drovers in the SW.
Thus it is not "The" Texas Rodeo, but the Houston Livestock Show IIRC. As mentioned, they really only saw the concessions, not the main events, with the exception of calf roping.
They didn't stay long enough to watch the main events 😂❤
I love that they showed things most people don't bother to show at a rodeo. There was no bull riding, no bucking bronc competition, saddle or bareback, no steer wrestling, no team roping, and no barrel racing. They weren't there for the judging of the livestock either. Young people raise all types of livestock, from bulls to rabbits, and they're judged on the job the kids did with their nutrition and grooming, etc. (At least, that's how it began. Parents are SUPPOSED to keep hands off.) The winners are bought by wealthy people who are really just paying for (hopefully) that youngsters higher education. There are plenty of videos dedicated to those events, so it was so much fun to see another side of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Rodeo is competitions in several categories. Calf roping, bucket racing, bull riding, and other stuff. It’s usually once a year. I was a rodeo queen way back in 1992 as a teenager. The rodeo with the food turns into like a festival.
I love the JOLLY channel! They have over 3 million subscribers. The Beesleys are very CLOSE to 160K Subscribers VERY SOON!!! Congratulations!!!
Always great to see out of state and people from other countries enjoy our state. Glad ya'll had a good time.
I did not go through all the comments to see if anyone explained what a rodeo is. The concept began with cowboys testing their skills for caring for cattle [branding (catch and release), castrating, etc.], breaking horses to be ridden and making cattle drives to take the cattle to market. The championships are held in Las Vegas, NV in December.
You really have to watch eating so much heavy food in the Texas heat. It's no wonder one of the boys ended up tossing his cookies the next day. The heat, even in March, can make you nauseous even without eating and even those of us used to it can accidentally end up with mild heatstroke.
HYDRATION. I live in LV, and invariably the people who "are down with the heat" are tourists who think 75F is warm. Fun fact: you should be drinking at LEAST 2L of water in the morning, then another 2L at least throughout the day. Alcoholic and heavily caffeinated drinks don't count.
All this is 100% American. From the pig racing, giant boot sculpture, to dog diving (which is actually kind of cool to watch!), to rodeos, to mutton bustin', etc
If you go to a county, or state fair, you'll find a lot of what you see in this video.
Rodeo's aren't just held in Texas, we have Rodeo's all across Oregon, and many other States too, it's part of our Culture, and also other types of Community Events such as Pow Wow's and Gathering of Nations. Native Americans also have Festivities called Pow Wow's and Horse Races.
Alligator is like putting a bite of fish and a bite of steak in your mouth at the same time!
Got some Longhorn cattle and other animals. Some of my family competed in rodeos and playdays in Texas and Oklahoma. I did not but I know how to do a lot of the stuff. One of my novels has a chapter where the teenage characters go to a "fun" rodeo. My part of Texas isn't very fun anymore because the population of newcomers has increased too much. They aren't Texans. The natural landscapes are becoming concrete cities. (And one of those sayings, "I ain't lookin' fer nuthin' to put me in the rodeo.")
Attending the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo was one of my wife's favorite things to do. Great memories. 2.6K views! Awesome. ❤
"Eating Contests" are not something that traditionally would be at a rodeo, but they absolutely could be at a rodeo.
As a general rule, if Americans are gathering for an organized community event (especially outdoors during summer) that is not specifically about food, there may or may not be an eating contest.
Aside from events specific to eating, or events put on by specific food brands as promotions, eating contests are side events that may or may not be present.
Alligator tastes like tough chicken nuggets. You can get alligator everywhere in the south. I also had in NY.
The calves look small but they are strong!! This doesn’t hurt them in any way!! This is also a skill the real cowboys do use!!
Only their feelings. 😂
@@pacmanc8103 very good!! 😁
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is all for charity. The profits that are made is given out to scholarships for students. High schoolers show raise farm animals all year to show and then auction off their animals. The local business people compete to advertise they bought the champion steer, etc... There are exhibitions, wine tastings, trail rides, dances, and barbeque contests. That competition is fierce. But in Houston the amazing thing is that most of the work is done by volunteers! Local businesspeople almost fight to get on one of the rodeo committees.
I grew up in Kansas, breaking ice, when I moved to Missouri in grade school, I was in charge of documenting the calves and tagging them at birth. Born in 73.
The background for the capturing and tying the legs of cattle comes from when people had to brand their cattle to show ownership.
The Brits at the Texas Rodeo became the main attraction for Texans and the rest of us. Good show guys
Isabel is Luke's daughter; he's their redhead friend (and executive producer) behind the camera.
Josh and Gabbie, his wife, have talked about their struggle with conceiving on her channel. As of now their only "child" is their adorable little fluffy dog Brie.
Didn’t hear if they said this, but the event where little kids are bronco-riding sheep is called Mutton Bustin’
Aside from the Iguana and Croc, all of that food they were eating is typical fair food that you can get at pretty much any fair, rodeo, stock car race or demolition derby across the country. Fried everything is really popular, as are the smoked turkey legs (they are super salty and not that great imho).
Turkey Drumstick legs are also ubiquitous at pretty much every Renaissance Festival in America where, ironically, Americans in supposedly historical costumes pretend to be English or Scottish for a day. 🤣🍗
Dog “Dock diving” is actually an American Kennel Club sanctioned sport - it’s quite popular across the nation…
My friend has a son who is a cowboy and participates in rodeos. I’ve been to two rodeos and it was fun! When I lived in Arizona the town I lived in had a yearly one called The Testicle Festival. Lol
The Iowa State Fair is a Mecca of food experiences. 10 days in August. I’ve had poutine, foot long corn dogs, wagyu beef burger, Cajun battered cheese on a stick, quesadilla, cheese curds, fresh squeezed lemonade, gyros… just a small fraction of food available. But I know one unique thing is a beef sundae. I believe it’s mashed potatoes, beef, beef gravy and not sure what else you can get on it. Haven’t tried that one but…
The oil doesn't mix with whatever you deep fry it stays in the batter. Th leidenfrost effect stops the oil from mixing into whatever you put into the deep fryer. Which is why the freshness is preserved. Within the fried coating.
Fun Fact: Here where I live in FL is a restaurant called Gators. I thought it was just a brand name. One night my parents went out to eat at Gators and brought leftovers home. In the middle of the night I got the munchies and seen the to-go box and looked inside. I say what I thought was popcorn chicken. So I heat some up and ate it all. The next morning they asked me through a laugh if I tried some? I said the chicken was good just a bit chewy. They told we I ate Alligator and I thought they were joking. I told them I know what chicken tastes like and they burst out laughing.
Turns out Alligator takes just like chewy chicken.
In the fall we have The Renaissance Festival In Plantersville and turkey legs is a key food of what is supposed to be foods of that time.
However a toddler friendly event may mean you stick to sea breezes and air conditioning dependingupon the time of year you visit with your toddler, once here. All three of my children were born in Denver and were in the mountains before they could walk. South Table Mesa in Golden, Co was where we walked the dog as we climbed the Mesa-dog, 2 yr old, 3 yr old, and 5 yr old in tow.
No animals are never hurt!
As a Houstonian I recommend to visit and experience the Houston rodeo which is held towards the end of the month of February and ends in the middle of March it’s always my favorite time of the year it’s way too much to experience all in one day so I recommend to go multiple days getting to eat all types of foods and shopping around stores to watching the best of the best rodeo athletes compete to ending every night with a great concert hopefully y’all could come out
I saw the astrodome so this is the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. It is a fun time. But they missed one of the best things about the rodeo; the trail riders. That's in the weeks leading up to the rodeo when they recreate the trail rides of the 1800s. We will be driving along when all the cars have to get to the left side as we pass all the wagons.
The majority black trail ride from Waller County camped near my HS before heading to Houston the next day. A few local black kids with roots in the Freedmen's Resettlement program got a two day pass to skip school by local custom.
We used to ride in every year from down by Reynosa at the border. That is a long, long ride. Usually only rode 20-25 mikes a day before stopping to camp. You can't afford to wear out or injure your horses and mules. Our trailride club had our own wagon. We rode with the Los Vaqueros, Los Amigos and whatever other clubs or solo riders joined up with us.
@@Bacopa68 I can't remember if Sugar Shack rode with that one or not. Haven't talked to Mama Sugar or anyone else in years since I had to quit riding.
@@toodlescae Super cool. My mother knew someone that did that. Unfortunately, he was injured and could not do it anymore.
Honestly, fried alligator is really good. It basically just tastes like popcorn chicken.
Not really. It’s not bad, but it sure ain’t chicken.
Meat Loaf was a brilliant actor. He convinced entire generations that he was a singer. By that I mean he approached every song as a role he played. And he performed every song with conviction and feeling. That's what made him so singularly special. It helped that he was a great singer too. He was an actor who sang vs a singer who also acts
As an Oklahoman (neighbor to Texas), I’ve been to countless rodeos. Calf roping is far from abusive. It looks cruel but they’re totally fine.
A million visits to the Rodeo is not an overestimate. Keep in mind this is the biggest early spring music festival. It dwarfs Coachella, and has more musical diversity. Playing the Rodeo can make a star.
I thought people go to Coachella for days, not an afternoon or full-day. It’s an entirely different crowd and vibe. I doubt you’ll find fried Oreos at Coachella.
On the Jolly guys' other TH-cam channel -- Korean Englishman -- they did a bunch of videos about 3 years ago, with Ollie's then-2-yr-old Juno doing taste tests. They're absolutely wonderful.
We are a rodeo family. Our horses have chiropractors, dentists, farriers (for their hooves), grooms for their skin and coats. Seriously, they are cared for better than my human family. That is a fact.
There is at least 62 rodeo events in South Dakota annually and is South Dakota's state sport.
My family used to go to the fair when myself and my brother were growing up and we would go on rides and stuff and my mom would come to eat, there's always great food at a fair/rodeo lol
Houston Livestock and Rodeo is the largest, it now runs almost a month long. It's more about the "talent" music than anything.
The location of the HLSR aka Houston Livestock and Rodeo is at Reliant Park, the NFL Texans play there and there are also conference areas along with The Astrodome although empty there as well as Astroworld across the the way but connected via a bridge
Buffalo bill Wild West show was just a showcase of the abilities of various cowboys and cow girls from everywhere. It’s in a show format which many historic people took up like the great Anne Oakley who could out shoot any man. Buffalo bill Cody was showman but shot up the bad guys at the ok corral in Arizona. Wyatt Earp who was bill’s partner in the show behind the scenes often figuring thing out with salary and such. Earp was a legendary sheriff back in his day taking down many lawbreakers. Unfortunately the modern Wild West show doesn’t have the old feel of the bygone days. It may take its name from the old show but it’s a shadow of its former glory. It’s because no one is strong enough to do it the old way and it shows as blanks are used instead of rubber bullets and many people just aren’t up to the task of performing.
In Disney you can get turkey legs but they are so big it's an urban legend that it's really Emu legs.
Part two..... yes please.
They sell the Turkey Legs everywhere. Baseball games, SeaWorld even at a flea market
The hot dog eating contest is in NYC on Coney Island each 4th of July.
The hot dog eating contest I believe you were thinking of is the World's Famous by Nathan's, and it's held every 4th of July from Long Island, NY. The current champion I believe is still Joey Chestnutt, and his record is something like 86 hot dogs eaten in 10 minutes. I wouldn't want to be anywhere around him the following day...
The HLSR goes back many years and is not just a rodeo. A lot of money is raised amd many, many scholarships are given out every year. Some of the biggest acts over the last century have performed at the rodeo and not just Country. Selena's iconic performance was at this rodeo. It starts off with Trailriders traveling hundreds of miles to camp and then participate in a parade. It's officially a county fair but is bigger than the state fair.
It's worth watching the second part. I've seen it already. Ollie is so funny the things he says and the reactions on his face.
They wrestle the calves to the ground to brand them. Not at the rodeo, but out on the range.
There is practicality to the hats. It’s to keep the heat and the sun off your head and from your eyes.
Yes, part 2 sounds fun.
They're at the HOUSTON Livestock Show and Rodeo. The largest in Texas but there are others in Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, etc. It is a fund raiser for college scholarships. This year's champion steer was auctioned off for $550,000, raised by 17 yr old high schooler. Money went to him. They didnt actually show any of the real rodeo.
The largest in the world.
Turkey legs is standard in any sort of festival/fair in the US (I'm fairly certain it's not just a Texas thing but I've not been to any outside of Texas... I can't remember if I saw any as a little kid at the amusement park I went to in Wisconsin or not. Been too long and I was a vegetarian back then).
I grew up out West and have had rattlesnake many times. It tastes pretty much like chicken. It's mild and tasty when cooked properly. I also lived in Louisiana for several years and have had alligator often, and well, it tastes a lot like chicken 😎 Both meats are pretty mild and taste like whatever spices and herbs you cook them with like chicken just sayin'.
Yes! Part 2 please
Fried gator can be really good depending on the chef like anything else. Never had rattlesnake but I actually might try it if it was fried.
Yes to part 2
Beesleys, they look like John Wayne in shorts.😄
A few years ago when I was down in South FL, I came across a Seminole-owned roadside restaurant which sold fried alligator, and it really was good. I've never had the opportunity to try rattlesnake, but I'd do it if I were given the chance.
Who knows what'll happen here, but usually pie eating contests and such take place at State and County Fairs, including all these examples of absolutely weird food. Woh, he almost shoved the straw up his nose when "scarfing down" the pizza on a stick, or maybe it was while drinking the lemonade.
The first event was calf roping. Others you didn't get to see are bronc riding, bull riding, barrel racing. There are other events, but I seem to be experiencing a "brain cramp" right now.
Alligator and snake taste surprisingly the same. Chewier chicken-ish. Not bad. Anything fried tastes better.
Here in Tucson Arizona, we have a full week of rodeos in February the Scholls are closed for2 or 3 days fir rodeo days and we host the world longest non motorized parad
Mr z is an elite level Italian chef who took jolly on a tour of exclusive Italian culinary spots that can only be accessed by him
I love going to National Western Stock Show in Colorado in Colorado. The rodeo is pure fun.
