rodeo

Tonight we went to the college rodeo in Walla Walla. This rodeo is a benefit for abused children, and the arena was full of fans.

It is a fun rodeo because it is such a small arena that the action is really close a lot of the time. Of course the talent isn't the same as a pro rodeo, but it is still exciting.

This is one of the bareback riders after the whistle had blown and was trying to get his hand loose, with help from the pickup men, so he could dismount.
