Today is the start of the 9 day Tucson Rodeo, the 85th edition of the "Fiesta de los Vaqueras", and the first big outdoor rodeo of the year. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Ass'n (PRCA) sponsors hundreds of rodeos around the country, leading up to the grand finale National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas, just before the XMAS holidays. The new season is underway, and the Tucson Rodeo attracts most of the Rodeo stars, as it has a long history, and a large payout for those cowboys who do well in the competition. We started working the NFR in 2002, and have been working the Tucson Rodeo since 2006, but unfortunately, the company we contract with will not be involved with the Vegas Rodeo next year, and it's doubtful that they will want to do the merchandise for Tucson next year. So, our Rodeo merchandise careers may just about be over. It's been fun, and if we're back here next year, it will be just another excuse to visit Marc, Chandra, and Laila. Marc brought Laila over to the motor home, so she could play with her buddy Sami, and see Gracie for the second time. We also recorded this acrobatic trick that is new since we were last in Tucson a couple of months ago. We are parked on the rodeo grounds, which is convenient to our work trailer, and we will be here through Sunday the 28th.
