Angola Rodeo

I got my first taste of a Louisiana rodeo this past weekend. Oh boy! I really don't have any words to describe it.

I couldn't believe the kind of pain those prisoners put themselves through. They had this one event where inmates sat around a table and waited for a bull, yes, a BULL, to crash into them.
That's just craziness! That, in addition to the wild cow milking and the monkey's rounding up rams, it made for an interesting show to say the least.

The Angola Rodeo also features incredible arts and crafts made by the prisoners. The workmanship on some of the wooden rocking chairs is unbelievable.

If you've never been, it's worth the visit. Where else are you going to see sane adults actually run at an angry bull?
