Black Hills Stock Show And Rodeo

The Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo occurs every year in Rapid City, South Dakota at the end of January, beginning of February, and lasts around one week. The event is the second largest event in South Dakota following the Sturgis Rally. There are over 300 vendors to shop from, over 120 different livestock, cattle shows, and different horse and rodeo events throughout the week. There are events for kids, and western entertainment for all. During this event, thousands of people come to Rapid City to experience our hospitality and the cowboy life even if it is just for an hour or two.

All the cowboys in the event.

The steers patiently waiting for their turn.

Another rodeo event we attended at the end of the week. I liked this one better. It had a little bit of everything.

Fifteen year old from Canada performed.

Really enjoyed this event.

These guys protecting the cowboy are awesome.

Blurry - but you get the idea - this poor cowboy was flipped upside down by this steer.
