Rodeo Riders zoomed by with sponsor flags. There was a great appreciation for the American Flag as the color guard rode by. A series of pageant winners also rode by including this young lady who got the loudest cheers from the crowd. Several of the bull riders had a hard time holding on but a few were able to stick it out. Cowboys were ready to wrangle the bulls once the rider was bucked off. Some riders wore head gear while others stuck with the traditional stetson. Boundary guard. Few were able to get the calf tied down completely but others at least got the lasso around it's head. A rider steadied himself on his horse after his rope missed the calf's head. The rider jumped off his horse to tie down the calf in a few seconds flat.
