Buckin' Ohio at Creek Bend Ranch

First post of September! I hope you're enjoying reliving some of my past trips as much as I am. :)

Today we're going to take a break from Iceland and look at something closer to home. Every summer, the good folks at Creek Bend Ranch host Buckin' Ohio. Buckin' Ohio is a rodeo featuring bull riding, ladies barrel racing, and children's Mutton Bustin'. It's a lot of fun and what makes it better is that we get to support a local business at the same time!

In this photo is Stitch, Yours Truly, and rodeo clown Craig Miller, one of the funniest guys East of Missouri! Rodeo clowns don't just entertain the crowd or throw freebies; they have the most dangerous job at any rodeo: keeping the cowboys safe. Luckily, there were only one or two close calls when we went, and everyone went home in one piece. After the rodeo, a local country group serenaded the crowd as we ate ice cream and BBQ, the competitors signed autographs, and the ranch hands bedded the bulls down for the night. It's a nice way to end the summer and pretend that you're a cowboy too, if only for one night!
