Since the rains stopped and it was a Saturday night, I decided to go to tonight's Gallup Lion Club Rodeo at Red Rock Park.
Unfortunately, I thought the evening would be warmer, so I didn't bring a jacket. The winds made it very chilly (at least I was wearing a long sleeve flannel shirt). I also should have taken heed of the dark clouds.
I braved the cold for about 45 minutes after the rodeo events began. I didn't stay for the fireworks. At least I also had dinner there (a very good barbecue beef sandwich, popcorn and a Dr. Pepper).
I brought along my old Canon Powershot camera and managed to get a few good shots of bareback (bronco) riding. That was entertaining!
Here's some of my photos:
