We were lucky to be in Three Forks on the weekend of their annual Rodeo. We heard about it from the friendly couple camping next to us (Sue and Jim) who happened to be the parents of the announcer for the event (Larry Lorang) and their grandson (Jett Lorang) is the Funny Man. It was a perfect summer night and what a show!
John and I especially enjoy how patriotic people are here in the heart of this country. We felt privileged to stand with everyone and proudly salute our nations flag. I think the announcer says it all in the video below.
They had everything from Steer Wrestling to Ladies Barrel Racing to Bronc and Bull Riding. Every minute was exciting and entertaining.
Here’s a video from the last ride of the evening. These guys and girls, all of them, including the riders and the handler’s are so brave and so skilled. It’s just amazing to see it up close and in real life. The animals are equally amazing. It’s beautiful to see a strong horse well ridden and so thrilling to cheer for the riders on the bulls!
Check out Joker Jett in the barrel in the video below. That kid is 12 years old and is far braver than I am that’s for sure!
John took these great shots of the action. We both really enjoyed the show and suggest that if you ever have the chance, go to a rodeo!
Where's Wanda (and John) Now?
