Snake River Stampede 2024.

We went to the Snake River Stampede.  This rodeo is so well done.  It is the best of the best.  On one hand, it is awesome.  On the other hand, it does not always show the grit and character that the small town rodeos show.  That being said, I love it EVERY year.

Unfortunately, my dad woke up sick that morning.  He was not able to go, but he gave his extra ticket to Sidney's friend Claire.  It was Claire's first rodeo.

My second favorite event is bronc riding.  My first favorite event is bareback bronc riding.  I was so enthralled I did not manage to get a picture.

The half time act was insanely awesome.  It was Bobby Kerr Mustang.  This was by far my favorite act ever.  If you ever have a chance to watch him, jump on the opportunity.  He had 2 mustangs, a mustang cross, three dogs and two birds joining his performance.

We were super excited to find out that Fallon Taylor was competing in barrels during the rodeo.

Unfortunately, none of the bull riders were able to hang on for 8 seconds.  Those bulls were tough.

At the end, they brought out a bronc family of horse.  Four generations.  

Afterwards, we went over to the horse expo for some food truck lunch, shopping and a fashion show.  I finally had the chance to try a grilled cheese from Meltz.  It did not disappoint!!!  I am already looking forward to next year.
