Every summer, the longhorn cattle are driven down one of the streets downtown to help kick-off the rodeo. I've never seen this and am not sure if I'd ever even heard of it before - but since we were downtown at the Pioneers Museum, we had fun watching this!
Samuel's favorite part was watching all of the police on motorcycles clearing the streets - but we all had fun watching the animals down the street. Certainly qualifies for unique and reminds us we are out West! Emily enjoyed meeting The Girl of the West!
I kept waiting to see The Pioneer Woman walking right down the street - it just seemed like her kind of thing.
And, if you want to read a funny book about a cattle drive - we loved this one at my sisters house: Sakes Alive! A Cattle Drive!

What fun! Deffinately an "out west" kind of expirience. My family would have loved it.
Hi Monica,
wow, how cool is that...if we had something like that in my town, I'd totally go see that ;) :) The cattle sure are beautiful creatures...LOVED the wagons...and the horns on some of those cattle were HUGE...really wide..wider than a car, it seems :) :) Thanks for sharing the photos. it looks like you're having a lot of fun. Have a blessed weekend. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
How fun! I love being in small towns that do this kind of thing.
