A new photo spread of mine has just been published. While the four-day Pikes Peak or Bust NFR Open rodeo was another sell out affair, organizers pride themselves on offering more than just a rodeo. Over time, they have grown the event’s “Fan Zone” entertainment to become a popular family-friendly destination and the rodeo’s long association with helping active duty military families blends a military flavor into all the proceedings at the historic Norris Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs. https://www.thefencepost.com/news/more-than-just-a-rodeo/

The Fan Zone at the 2022 Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo was filled with family-friendly activities of an agricultural nature, including this popular petting zoo tent that housed a pony, a donkey, some goats, sheep and even a llama.

My latest article with photos has been published on The Fence Post magazine’s website. I traveled last Sunday (June 26) to the 100th Greeley Stampede in Greeley, CO to photograph and talk to participants and visitors who were taking part in and having fun at the historic venue. The story focuses on the family-friendly environment and tradition of the Greeley Stampede.

The Edgerly family from Greeley had a blast participating in a sack race (mom won this one!) and other throw-back family activities on offer during the Sunday Family Funday on June 26th at the 2022 Greeley Stampede. The coffee sacks were a nod to the original events offering free coffee to the regions potato farmers to help entice them to attend back in the 1920’s.

Good Things Come in Threes…

So what does a chainsaw, morning coffee, and a great neighbor have in common? Well, let me tell you…

I had to borrow a neighbor’s chainsaw (because my old one died), and the thing was finicky, to say the least. If I faced southeast, stood on one foot and tilted the chainsaw 37-degrees to the right, I might… MIGHT… get it to start. I finally threw up my hands, jumped in the diesel and went to the local farm and ranch store to purchase a new chainsaw. With my recency bias intact, I brought home a different brand along with getting a larger 24″ model (my neighbor’s is a 20″ model). Ever since that day, it has been a running joke between the two of us that my chainsaw is bigger…

This past weekend, we had those neighbors over for steaks on the grill and they arrived with a surprise gift, and a hilarious one at that. They know we love coffee, so the package was a bag of coffee named “Chainsaw” with a logo of a chainsaw on the front. Obviously, the ribbing between us about chainsaws will continue for the foreseeable future!

Life is great. You wouldn’t think the purchase of a chainsaw would have anything to do with morning coffee, but a great neighbor makes anything possible. It’s one of those rules of living. Good things come in threes.

Admit it. You don’t go to a County Fair to eat healthy. But I was wondering…

Is there such a thing as a County Fair WITHOUT a grill serving up huge Turkey Legs?

Can’t think of one? I didn’t think so!
