Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo

The Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo was very good this year… I didn’t have any luck there in the bull riding. I personally like to watch the bull riding and bronc riding, because those are more action packed events. The bull riding wasn’t as good as I thought it should have been. But it’s your own opinion on what you like to watch I suppose… so I hope you enjoyed the BHSS.
