2009 La Fiesta de los Vaqueros


2009 La Fiesta de los Vaqueros
La Fiesta de los Vaqueros , otherwise known as the 84th Annual Tuscon Rodeo, put on quite a show for the last 9 days. The West at it's Best. Legends and champions, the best bucking broncos and bulls, all part of the grand tradition of the rodeo. It all starts each day with the kids warming up the crowd in the Mutton Bustin and Junior Rodeo events, and then the big cowboys get the ProRodeo going soon there after. And, in between all of this, the rodeo clowns are keeping everyone safe as the action can be dangerous. Those bulls don't take kindly to the rider that has just lasted 8 seconds on their backs. But the trill is all part of the sport, never mind the big money resting on the 8 seconds of that whip lashing ride................
As a volunteer, I was glad to help and be a part of the the event; wind, hot sun, sore feet, and all. Met some really nice hardworking folks that have been doing this for years, and they all look forward to doing it again, next year, for the 85th time........ Me too...
