Mr. Speaker, it is that time of year again: It is rodeo season.
It is time to rope that dream, blow off some steam and head to Cariboo—Prince George for the greatest shows on dirt. Starting this weekend, there is the Prince George Western Heritage Society rodeo and the 4th Annual Logan Parent Memorial Bulls & Barrels in 100 Mile House. In two weeks, there will be the 97th annual Williams Lake Stampede, the “wildest show west of the rocks,” and then it will be the 56th Annual Quesnel Rodeo and Billy Barker Days Festival.
It's not just a sport, it's our way of life.
It's the bulls and the blood, the dust and the mud,
The roar of the Sunday crowd,
The Let R Buck Saloon playing the music just a little too loud.
Bucking bronc fun under the hot Quesnel sun,
This summer in Cariboo-PG is gonna be fun.
It's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats,
Wild horses and the smoke show.
It's the broncs and the blood, it's the steers and the mud,
We call it rodeo.
Yee-haw.
