slo’s FRIDAY 8/16 poll - Rodeo 🤠

[The Mayor]

Went to the Calgary Stampede about 15 or so years ago. I was there on business and my Canadian Rep cleared a day so we could go. It was one of the most incredible and exhilarating sporting events I’ve ever attended. They are definitely athletes. .

Most of the events you listed seem like animal cruelty to me.

I think I went to one as a young kid, indoors, at the Amphitheater. If so, once. And if I did, probably liked the bucking broncos the best.

I went to a rodeo like 30+ years ago. It was fun, I think bull riding was the most exciting event.

Several times, I grew up in Cowtown (Woodstown), NJ and had friends that participated in them, so we were always there wondering around. I very good friend of ours son travels every weekend to do them.

I did go to the Calgary Stampede as a younger self. I will stick to Blue Rodeo now . I do see them any and every chance I can get.

Went once with DS when he was young. It was a traveling show in an indoor arena. We saw bull riding and roping, as well as some other events and rodeo clowns. It was fun. I would definitely consider the riders athletes.

I saw a traveling show too, when I was young. It was pretty much the same as you described. I think I'd go again.
