Colorado Stock Show

The National Western Stock Show has taken place every January in Denver since 1906, attracting over half a million visitors year year, showcasing 15,000 head of horses, cattle, sheep, swine, goats, llamas, alpacas, bison, yak, poultry and rabbits. Needless to say cowboy boots are all but required for entry.

We thought there would be no better way to indoctrinate ourselves into the Colorado culture by spending a few hours there last week - and it didn't disappoint! Naturally Brady was just enthralled with the livestock "COCKADOODADOO!!!!!" and the "TRACTORS!!!!!", but there was great people watching, bbq, and of course the best funnel cakes this side of the Mississippi for parents and grandparents. Perhaps next year we'll even catch one of the rodeos....
