The banjos were twanging and the fiddles squealing. We took my brother Tim to Fort Ransom for the bluegrass festival. It was very enjoyable. My personal favorite was a band called Monroe Crossing. Fort Ransom is a quaint little town that caters to tourism with several events throughout the summer. It reminds us of Ferndale, California.
This evening we went to Binford for the rodeo. It was an official event on the professional bull riding circuit. Yes, there really are people who ride bulls for a living. Binford has about a population of around 170. There were a few thousand people there at the rodeo.
Bull-riding: a backward practice in my opinion. I cannot approve. But what did you expect?
