25th Annual Black Cowboy Festival

What can I say? It was blazing hot in the wide open, treeless field and the lines to enter were a wee long and slow (until the credit card machine went down PTL and PS what line in a blazing hot open fiend ISN’T too long and slow?!), but the 25th Annual black Cowboy Festival in Rembert, SC was a fired up HIT!

In addition to the horse shows, barrel races and other performances, you know I was chasing the rodeo STYLE, and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. Most important of all, I don’t think I have ever experienced a nicer crowd of people in all my life. The most ideal family friendly environment!
