Anyone who has kids (umm--that's everyone except for Karen and I of course), should come and check out one of the 10 animal petting/feeding areas. There are goats, donkey's, llamas, kangaroos, pigs, deer, rabbits, etc.
So there are seriously like at least a thousand cows of all different species and what not up to be judged. Here I am sitting on the winning cow of tubs--the biggest cow in the entire place--he's a measly 3 thousand lbs or about 1.5 TONS! 
Man--this pig race was a RIOT!!!
LOOK at how big this freaking big is!!! I got a picture of a girl trying to pet it so you can get a feel for how big it really is. There's so much more, but this is enough for now. More picts to come soon. THe rodeo lasts from mid feb to mid march. Next year, everyone should come on down and stay here and we can all go. The cool part of the rodeo is only 6 bucks per person to get in. Then food's about 10 bucks per person but if you're wanting to go the cheaper route--you can bring your own food and drinks too. The petting area is free to enter, but two bucks if you want to get animal food to feed them. Everything else is prety much free as far as looking at the livestock and shopping which there is TONS of shoping to look at too. Lastly, there's TWO carnivals! One for kids with small rides and another with much larger rides for adults to ride on. Those rides are extra of course. Anyway--the invite is always open for anyone that wants to come down on Karen's side, my side, or any friends that want to stop by. OH--the actualy rodeo part where they ride bulls and horses and junk is like 20 bucks per person--but that's IF you want to go see that part. 
Well, mom, here's what we're going to go do on Friday!!!! Hope you're getting excited!
Love ya.
Jason and Karen
