Last Monday and Tuesday was the La Crete Pro Rodeo. I showed up just as the opening ceremonies started and found Lisa in the stands. I stayed there for a while, but I couldn't get the best photos, plus, all the sexy cowboys were on the OTHER side of the arena, so obviously, that's where I needed to be.
So off I went, to invite myself to the back part where all the cowboys were. I took a bunch of photos and tried to stay focused on the competitions. Then, I decided to invite myself up to the VIP section to get better photos. All in all, a good day.
There were tons of horses there, and bulls. My favourite events is bareback, by far, and then saddle bronc. Love it!
I wish I could just be a rodeo reporter. Oh, life would be grand. Following those cowboys around from rodeo to rodeo... I mean, uh.. working from rodeo to rodeo!
About Me
- Ashley C. Foley
- I am a graduate from Guelph-Humber University, in Toronto, Ontario. I grew up in the small town of Tamworth, Ontario, with a population of about 500. I have lived in Ojibway Provincial Park / Sioux Lookout, Ontario; Quetico Provincial Park, Ontario, Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Toronto (and the GTA), Ontario, and many places in between. Upon graduating into a ghostly occupation that has been beaten hard by the recession, I began applying to every journalism job available in Toronto ... and then in the GTA ... and then in Ontario ... until eventually, I began applying to jobs all over Canada. Finally, I found my first reporting employment, in La Crete, Alberta, writing for The Northern Pioneer. After a year and a half, I decided to expand my portfolio by moving to Bonnyville, Alberta, which is about 12 hours southeast of La Crete. My adventures have been, and will continue to be, dcumented on my blog as I go.
