Snowmass Rodeo

Snowmass is a small village nearby Aspen. Ski slopes, shops, etc.

The Snowmass Rodeo opens every Wednesday and Saturday.

The first time I ever saw rodeo was the National Western in Denver in Jan 1989, and it was said to be the largest rodeo event. So I imagine Colorado is the heart of cowboy country.

Snowmass Rodeo

The mandatory flag waving in the beginning of the rodeo competition.

I suddenly remember a quote from an american history book that I read recently: "My country, right or wrong."

Sounds very cowboy-ish, doesn't it?

The first competition for the evening is bareback riding, shown here in the second picture.

While big cowboy Joe waiting for his term to rope the cow, young cowboys helping to herd the cows to the designated location (with the electric shock stick?)

Wedding

OK this picture was not taken in Aspen. We stopped in LA for a few days to attend a wedding before we go to Aspen.

The bride requested a picture in this angle.
