Hereford Heaven Stampede Rodeo in Stratford

It was a hot one. Rodeo started at 8, cost $8 per adult, and the bleachers were packed. First up: the kids. I've never seen rodeo cowboys so small (see the image below on the left). Next: the pros. At "halftime," I invited Emi to join all the 8-and-unders in the arena for an unspecified frolic. He declined. Turned out to be a take-the-ribbon-off the calf contest. We lasted until halfway through the bullriders before heading back home.
