Amongst the many things I would like to do in my life, seeing a rodeo is one of them. It’s not that I’m a fan of cowboys or playing (lulz) with bulls; I just think that rodeos are awesome things and it’s a must that I witness one live. I was chatting with Lover about this today, specifically about the annual National Finals Rodeo, and I wasn’t surprised at all when he told me that he was able to watch the event a couple of years ago.

The NFR (also known as the “super bowl of rodeo”) is a ten-day event (happening the first week of December) organized by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association held each year at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The NFR has seven events with eight world champions crowned in each, at its end: bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, bull riding, and barrel racing (the only event exclusive to women!).

A large sum of money is awarded each year to the World All-Around Rodeo Champion Cowboy and due to it’s popularity, tickets tend to get sold out easily and quickly. For those of you who have the means (because you’re not stuck in some Third World country like I am) to see the event this December, book your Wrangler National Finals Rodeo tickets now.
