Boots, Beer, and Bull Riding...Before the Mayhem.

Excited to cowgirl up! this weekend and introduce some of my “new” friends to a good old time at the Springville Rodeo!! Besides the Jackass Mill Run…(yes…there is a “Jackass Mill Run” where donkeys, horses, and cowpeople parade up to the rodeo grounds each year..the kicker is that most of the “Jackasses” involded are the ones watching this spectacle..) anyways, besides that, the Rodeo has always been one of those little authentic pieces of my hometown that I truly appreciate. However this year I will be able to FULLY appreciate it considering I was never old enough to (legally) drink when I lived there.. There’s great food (not including the year my little sister got e-coli..we will chalk that up as a fluke), the stands are actually authentic wooden benches hammered into the ground, plenty of rednecks to keep it interesting, and some pretty impressive cowboy talent down in the arena from what I remember. Oh - and I can’t forget to note the “Budweiser Girls” as my dad always had to comment on how much “talent” they bring to the table each year.

All joking aside, I am very excited to be able to bring home some of my newest, and now closest, friends to meet my parents and experience my hometown. If all else fails, I know that Ricky B won’t dissapoint..be it the crude jokes that I think NO ONE should ever be old enough to hear, the imitation nipple beer topper, or the billybob teeth - he alone can hold down the fort when it comes keeping people entertained. More to come…yeee haawwww!
