Clowning Around


SOLD
Many small towns in Montana put on annual rodeos which bring in folks from the surrounding areas to partake in a much-anticipated community event.  It's a family tradition for many -- a time of meeting, greeting, and competing in events. Rodeo evolved out of friendly competitions, based on the skills needed for ranch life. And it continues to be a meaningful tradition for rural Montanans.

My favorite rodeo as a child was the Harlowton, Montana Rodeo. Harlowton is where my father's family homesteaded; and every year I hooked up there with my cousins and we did our best to raise a ruckus.
