Goshen Connecticut Rodeo

I have never been to a Rodeo, and was not aware the Connecticut had a Rodeo until yesterday when one of my co-workers told me of that is up in her area of Connecticut.  Apparently Goshen, CT has had a Rodeo the past four years, and according to her it is a great event and draws a large attendance.

Besides Bull Riding and the events listed in the flyer above there will also be other Rodeo events like Cattle Roping, and Barrel Racing.  I am not into Truck Pulls, but seeing cars getting smashed up in a Demolition Derby would be something that I can get into.  Goshen is a little bit of a ride for me, but I would love to take a ride up there this weekend.

If you have not made any plans for Father's Day, this might be something that good old Dad might enjoy doing, and the money raised by the Goshen Stampede go to support local Non-Profit organizations like the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, F.F.A., Torrington Elks, Goshen P.T.O., Goshen Ag Society, Civil Air Patrol and 4-H.

Hey George, way to go...you got a little gold star before anyone commented...I want to be like you!!

The Goshen Connecticut Rodeo or Goshen Stampede-2012 which ever you prefer does sound like a good time and I'm with you on the Demolition Derby...I've been to a couple before and they are lots of fun...kind of reminds me of rush hour traffic on the Eisenhower Expressway in Chicago :)

I grew up in OKlahoma, but I never made it to a rodeo.  I had no idea they had them on the east coast.  Sound like the perfect thing to do on fauther's day!

George, we have a Mexican restaurant here in Prospect that has bull riding competitions in July. We have been fortunate that none of those bulls have gotten away as they are big. This could be fun

George -- I was not aware of this rodeo either. I can tell you that I would love to see the demolition derby. I used to always watch that on TV but have never seen one live. There's just something about crashing cars.....  What a great Father's Day event.

We're Bull Riding fans at our house, George ... bullriders are tough.  If you haven't had the pleasure of watching a bull riding competition ... here's your chance.  Take it .. and enjoy!  Hope the entire event is a success ...

I know the area well since I grew up just down the road in Litchfield.  There is always something going off in the fair grounds.  They have a huge fair Labor day weekend which draws people from all over.

This brought back memories of my dad taking my siblings and me to the rodeo when we were kids (Car demolitions weren't part of them then.) I still love them but haven't been to one for a number of years... time to go again!  Hope you enjoy your first rodeo and it's not the last one you attend either.
