So long for this year

Well, we are done with Rodeo for this year. I didn't have to sell beer for the American Legion, didn't have to work the booth for 4-H and I didn't have to sit through any shows (neither princesses showed animals this year). So, all in all, it was a rather uneventful rodeo season.

The weather was good both times we were there. As opposed to previous years' bad weather with rain and freezing temperatures. But hey, if we'd have had to be there more than twice this year the odds go up dramatically that we would encounter bad weather. That's the big reason we went Tuesday night, the weather was good but supposed to be turning wet and cold for the rest of the week.

This year's highlight:

Deep Fried Snickers

It looks harmless enough, like a corn dog on a stick. But in reality (or is it) you are holding a snickers candy bar rammed with a corndog stick, hand dipped in what appears to be funnel cake batter, deep fried for just the right amount of time to crisp the batter but not totally melt the candy bar. Resulting in an extremely sweet palate but with a hint of saltiness.

Its a crying shame but we didn't get to try the Deep Fried Twinkies.
