I witnessed something really special a couple of weeks ago (Saturday July, 17) at the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs—the Induction Ceremony for the "class" of 2010.

Tears and laughter rang out with every speech.
Rodeo is life—for those who are savvy enough to see it.
Before spending a few weeks with champion roper K.C. Jones, pilot and professional photographer Jeff Berlin thought he''d been to a rodeo.
The June/July issue (on newsstands now), has a photo essay by photographer Chad Case on the colorful subject of charreada, which has been called the National Sport of Mexico. A form of stylized rodeo or riding exhibition, including roping and equestrian performances, charreada is based on the heritage of charros, or gentlemen ranchers.
The Angola Prison Rodeo at Lousiana State Penitentiary has been held since 1964 and is the last of its kind in the nation. Despite controversy over the cost and efficacy of the event, the hard-nosed warden believes rodeo helps rehabilitate his inmates.
The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo has announced the retirement of W. R. “Bob” Watt, Jr. In honor of Watt’s more than 40 years of service to the organization, Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief will host a public ceremony proclaiming May 4th, 2010 as W.R. “Bob” Watt, Jr. Day in the City of Fort Worth.
