This morning, I was driving around Steamboat Springs, running errands and flicking radio stations. I landed, and stayed tuned to the local country music station. I recognized the song enough to be able to sing the chorus...
Windows down, the smell of the rodeo grounds (horses!) drifted across to me, and I thought "How perfect! A song about the rodeo, just as I take my first whiff of that unique smell of Steamboat in the summertime!"
Yee haw! Rodeo fever is taking over our town. Just today, The Steamboat Pilot published an article about the rodeo: "Crowds flocked to the Brent Romick Rodeo Arena at Howelsen Hill early and often, swarming the rodeo grounds before the Friday and Saturday shows last week, packing the main grandstands both nights."
"The stock was lively, the action was fast, the jokes were family friendly and from top to bottom it made for a great opening weekend — almost too great, announcer John Shipley said."
"The rodeo rode into town last week and kicked off at 6 p.m. with live entertainment and a barbecue, just as it will do today and Saturday. The real show got under way at 7:30, again is it will this weekend. Shipley and the rodeo organizers and support crew didn’t file out with the crowd about 10 p.m., however. Instead, the whole team stayed on until 12:45 a.m., making sure every last competitor who signed up got a chance in the ring."
If this doesn't coax you into your cowboy boots, chaps and hats, perhaps the entry fees will!
