Have you ever been to a rodeo? Is this a "thing" where you live? I am nornally from the midwest (Minnesota) where there are no rodeos. For fun folks in Minnesota go to concerts, music festivals, food festivals, plays, going out to eat or whatever. I am on a work trip to Colorado, a state considered to be "out west" where rodeos are apparently a big thing.
I dont exactly know what the main thing is. We went to a rodeo where riders did tricks on horses, ran around barrels, did lasso tricks ansld of course bull riding.
I am not sure if I liked it or not. I felt too much compassion for the animals.
Have you ever done this? What are your thoughts? Is there any cultural outing that your state or region engages in?

There is a small rodeo up my way at the moment..at the Jefferson Co Fair but I am not going.
The only real rodeo I had ever been to was way down in Missouri somewhere and boy it was great!

I am in Alberta. Rodeos are a big thing here. Every little town has one, there are big international rodeos. I am not a fan though. I have been about twice in my life and just didn't find it interesting.
I do have friends who are big ranchers and they enjoy the rodeo.

I have never seen a rodeo in person. Only in movies and TV shows.
