    Default National Western Stock Show 2017

    Who's going?

    Went last year, but everyone is sick this year (and I thought it was over soon). Might not make it this year, but would really like to go; especially on days like today when I'm not working and the kid is out of school.

    Stock Show time was always fun. I used to dig out my hat, boots and a pair of Wranglers head out to the cowboy bars. Now that I’m old and two ex-wives’ later, it isn’t quite as much fun. I better stay home, I’m too old and don't want to give away another house.

    No time this year with building this network for a customer, but I have great memories of going to stock show as a kid with my family.

    Great memories from early 20's at stock show with friends, but the memories of the days after aren't great. Cowboy Koolaid and roaming stock show result in rough days following.

    Yup, I'm always there for the draft horses. Been going every year for probably more than 30 years.

    If you want to say hi to an absolute nobody this coming Saturday, PM me

    If you get there earlier, the live bison auction is pretty cool to watch. Get on the catwalk above the pens and watch them move the bison into the auction arena.

    Went this past Saturday. All these years I've gone, this was the first year to the rodeo. Kids had a blast
