International Rodeo 2001
June 30-July 1, 2001
Calgary, Alberta
Well, another rodeo has come and gone, what a blast this one was but then again, Calgary has always proven to be my personal favourite. I met new friends and old andwon my first event (3rd place on-foot calf roping on Sunday!) The weather was excellent although there was everything from hail, a massive thunder and lightening storm, rain enough to drown a hippo and sun enough to split the rocks you were standing on. Sunday was amazing and for the second year in a row, the curse of a rainy rodeo was dispelled. |

This wasn't my idea, I wanted a picture with Ashley in the middle, PR person for ARGRA and next thing I knew, I was in the air... |
