~ Livingston Roundup Parade and Rodeo ~

It's been non-stop fun and action this week starting with the Livingston Roundup Parade on July 2nd which is the official kick-off to the 3-day Livingston Roundup Rodeo.

Bring on the bagpipes, bring on the clowns...

The Livingston Roundup, known as "Montana's Best Rodeo since 1923" opened with an exciting performance by the Bozeman Saddle-ites.

It is always a thrill to sit in the front row to capture rodeo action and expressions like this...

My Livingston Roundup Rodeo images have been on exhibit at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy in Colorado Springs, Colorado and were also the subject of a one-woman show I did in Steamboat Springs, Colorado in 2003.
