gay Rodeo

This weekend August 22-24 is the windy city 2008 rodeo. It is held at the Six Guns Ranch and Arena in Crete, IL. Rodeo events includes calf roping on foot, chute dogging, mounted breakaway roping, team roping, bareback bronc riding, goat dressing, pole bending, steer riding, barrel racing, steer deco, bull riding, flag racing and wild drag racing. I am sure one can think of funny scenario with some of the event names. And yes, the wild drag racing involves a guy in drag costume riding a steer! A steer by the way is a male bovine castrated before sexual maturity. For more information, you can check out the Illinois Gay Rodeo Association website.
