Rodeo Behind-the-Scenes

Okay, so there I was in the bleachers, enjoying the rodeo, when I looked down and behind me, only to discover I was sitting right above where the wrangler-butted GUYZ were suitin’ up to ride. (My camera was instantly redirected.)

I was relieved to see hoof-proof horn-proof vests and neck braces gettin’ strapped on.

Along with lots of taping.

Chawin’ and spittin’.

(Notice I’ve climbed down from the bleachers by now.)

Now HERE’S a glamper!

Home to Rodney Atkins. Wouldn’t you like to meet HIS entourage (sponsored by Massey Ferguson tractors)?

Eventually, I wandered off to see the handmade dress that won first place at the county fair portion of the Dillon, Montana festivities.

And of course I had to make friends with the hat maker. Here’s Larry steaming a newly made hat for that perfect hat fit.

There’s nary a Larry Hat I’d pass on. All of them were classic heirlooms in the making.
