In town for the first rodeo of the 2023 season. It was my first rodeo ever, and I was hoping it would be a great experience. While I did enjoy the overall atmosphere and some of the events (bull riding and barrel racing being my favorites), I truly think calf roping without a weight limit for the calf should be illegal. It is so inhumane and traumatizing for the calf. Unfortunately, one of the cowboys broke one of the calves legs, and I will not be able to unsee the poor calves leg dangling from its tiny body. There was a study in Australia that was done showing how much stress the calves undergo during this event for "sport" and it proved to be significant. A compromise they tried to implement was setting a weight limit for the calves of 200 kg (about 450 lbs). The calves we saw looked way too young to be slammed to the ground and have their legs broken. I disagree with this event altogether, but I encourage the event leaders to implement an ethical weight limit at the very least.

We were not at the fairgrounds during the rodeo but we did go there for the balloon rally. One word...AMAZING!!! It was a spectacular event and our first time there. If you get a chance to go, you should. Definitely a family activity.

The balloon festival was beautiful. Meet a lot of nice people. They were not selling rides. At night we went to the rodeo at the same spot.

Our RV CLUB stayed here. Would have gave a 5. Bit no Showers and with the HEAT Electric would have saved us, our generator kept overheating and I got heat exhaustion

This is my favorite place on Earth (besides home of course...) But I love the Fair Grounds. They have a lot of 4-h clubs meet there, along with the Rodeo, and the fair exhibition. It's amazing!!!
