Lake County Fair - 2005
On July 30th I went to the Lake County (Illinois) Fair with Amy. We went primarily to see the Rodeo, but saw many of the cool little animals too.Unfortunately it was too dark for photos of the Rodeo - it had the most propaganda I've ever seen at an American event ... it lasted over 20 minutes! Anyway the rodeo (my first ever) was loads of fun. They had bucking horses (both bare-back and saddled), steer wrestling, and calf wrangling. Steer wrestling involves jumping off a horse onto the steer, and wrestling it to the ground. Calf Wrangling is when they release a calf, and the guy must (from a horse) sling a rope around the calf then jump off the horse and tie the animals legs together. It was cool!
We also saw the animals, and ate food, etc..
