Yippee Yi Yay--Gay Rodeo!

I ventured to the SBAC for amateur wrestling last month, and it was well worth the $7 admission. But this month, I may pony up a few extra bucks and mosey out to the Gay Rodeo! The Gateway Gay Rodeo Association brings this event to the Equestrian Center in Lake St. Louis this weekend.

Traditional rodeo competition will take place, like roping and barrel racing, in addition to more non-traditional competition such as Goat Dressing and Steer Decor. (See The Vital Voice article for more details on this. I can’t possible do it justice.) Unlike mainstream rodeo, men and women will compete in the same events. Shuttle services are being offered from various bars. Visit the GWGRA site for shuttle and event schedule.

Bands will be performing and vendors on hand—it’s a real festival folks. And the rodeo will help raise funds for Food Outreach.
