Here in London England, we are lucky to be around all manner of experiences and activities BUT as you can imagine, we're never even remotely around anything cowboy like and a rodeo is something I've only ever seen on TV. I'd love to watch something like this that's so different to anything I've experienced before :)Shikha (whywasteannualleave)http://whywasteannualleave.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-89801407891188896422016-06-30T23:59:13.315-05:002016-06-30T23:59:13.315-05:00The town really did capture the spirit of the West...The town really did capture the spirit of the West.

I used to frequent rodeos which I was a teenager because I mixed in that crowd back then. I have not been to one since then though. In Australia we don't call our take-away food places "Concession Stands". Do you know the history behind that name?budgetjannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-15921548124462079302016-06-25T15:39:25.109-05:002016-06-25T15:39:25.109-05:00While I wouldn't normally include a city built...While I wouldn't normally include a city built for tourism in my travel plans, I thought the activities sounded really fun!
