Wild West Show!

WOW! The Wild West Show at the State Fair was great.  Cowboys and cowgirls did some great stunts.  How come the cowgirls are the only ones I ever see doing the "trick riding"?  Are the boys not brave enough?  Just kidding.

It was very cool to see how these pros worked with some of the animals.  They were able to get 2 huge oxen to play dead and three stuborn mules to climb ON TOP of a horse trailer.  The most stuborn of the lot took a lot of persuading.  I think he finally realized that the cowboys weren't gonna let him take a nap until he climbed up.

Trick roping was pretty cool too!  That guy was talented, let me tell you.  I don't remember the names of all the tricks he did, but he did them with style.

That show was only a tiny portion of the State Fair.  Nitro Ice Cream, The Last Glue you'll ever Need, wallets & purses, fried food, bedding, rides and shows.  It's just plain cool!

Going to the Fair

It's State Fair time again in OK!  Tomorrow (Wed) is Senior Day at the Fair and we're taking a bus full of RAC patrons down there to enjoy the festivities.  The special building for senior info and events is always a big draw, but we're sure to hit the midway for indian tacos or pizza on a stick.  I'm not going to risk the chocolate covered bacon...nope, I'm just not gonna do it.

I love that we get to see so many more people than just those who come on our bus.  Many of our regular patrons make their way out to the Fair and stay late into the afternoon to get a better chance on the door prizes offered to seniors.  I love seeing people I know wandering throughout the grounds.  It makes me feel like I live in a small town.

Enjoy the Fair and I'll see you all for Thursday's September Birthday Dinner!!
