More Cowboy Days

Yuma, Arizona       High 70 Low 47

It got a lot cooler the last few days with lots of wind. We had a really dirty rain first thing Friday morning. Next week is supposed to be up into the 80's.

Our group at Cowboy Days had what we called  stage couch races. They used small wagons, which had to be loaded, then run around a course, then unload for the next race. The race didn't go exactly as planned, but the participants all seemed to have a good time.

One of the next events called for the contestant to ride a stick horse through a course, then to drink about 8 ounces of beer as quickly as possible. This was a timed event. The winner drank his beer without swallowing. He literally poured the beer down. I have never watch anyone do that before.

The last day, there was an inflatable bull riding contest. People were around the bull which was surrounded by a large inner tube. They tried to cause the rider to fall in the pool. This was timed also, and whoever stayed on the longest won.

The last event was a wet tee shirt contest. This time it was the women spraying water on the men. After the buckets of water were gone, the men were then judged by the audience.

 The participants said that they used cold water, which got them cold. A lot of them got in the hot tub after the contest. 

Cowboy Days was a lot of fun for everyone.

Thanks for visiting.
