We spent several hours at the Rodeo which runs for about two weeks. This is a very popular event with large crowds and plenty on display. Essentially a larger version of the Balmoral Show with lots of animals, shops and a large fun fair. Plenty for children to do. There were three large buildings set up like an indoor market with a staggering array of crafts, clothes, cowboy/cowgirl hats and boots etc.
We spent sometime in the International Room where we were warmly welcomed and given lunch. The mesquite smoked brisket was beautiful! We met local born Toni and his Thai wife Gita. Toni is into local music so we got talking about country and blue grass music.
