On Monday night Kyle and I had a "date night" as he got us tickets for the rodeo and event show. We even got to enjoy the surroundings of the suite his company got again this year!
 |
| Date night! |
As always, they put on a good show with the events kicking of with a laser show, national anthem, flag formations, and then of course, the rodeo events...which are always SUPER fun to watch because the level of competition at this rodeo is very high.
 |
| Opening ceremony with flags and march and anthem |
 |
| Team Roping. |
 |
| Bucking Bronco's. Saddle & Bareback |
 |
| Gotta love watching the little kiddos ride the sheep! They can really hold on tight! |
 |
| Calf Scramble. They let loose a certain number of calves and let more kids loose to chase them down. the first one to get one, tie a rope to it and drag it to the finish line wins $1000. Ever kid that pulls a calf across the line gets $500. Money is put towards their 4-H or FFA animal projects for the next year. |
And then, after the rodeo events finished instead of a country singer (last year we saw Easton Corbin) we were treated to a comedy show. Ventrilzquist Terry Fator put on a great show! He has a show in Vegas, at the Mirage, that he normally does. He had about 6 different puppets, and even turning a real life person into a puppy! And instead of mostly jokes, he SANG. He would sing Aretha Franklin, Garth Brooks, Lady Gaga, and even some Elvis. He has an excellent voice, but to think he can sing like that without moving his lips is just crazy! If you have never heard of him, or ever find yourself in Vegas, look him up! Here is a link to a
YouTube video of him.
As always, a great night out!
