That Thing They call Rodeo

The Nielson family was successful at last night annual Peach Days Rodeo.
The success started with Dakota catching a chicken- funny thing is that John donated a rooster he wanted to get rid of because it was so mean and that is the one Dakota caught! Good thing she choose to trade it in for a dollar.


John & Wyatt did the Hyde race- I think this is the funniest event to watch- here they go...



Josh & Austin both signed up to ride a steer.
There was about 10 boys ages 8-13. Most rides were under 3-4 seconds. Last year Austin stayed on the longest and won a belt buckle plus $27.00 but this year his bull turned just right and bucked him off.

But he redeemed himself by catching a greased pig.


Josh had a very successful ride- he stayed on the full 8 seconds.

Then he was surprised when he collected his prize money- he was expecting under $30 but since he was the only one to stay on 8 seconds he got the whole pot- $77 plus a nice belt buckle!! Way to go Josh!
