SPOONER RODEO

HERE WE ARE AT THE 66TH ANNUAL SPOONER RODEO IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN. LAST WEEK WE MOVED INTO THE GUEST HOUSE ON CABLE LAKE FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME.

MY DATE FOR THE RODEO PARADE, AND FUTURE RODEO QUEEN (2037), IS ANDER.

MY BROTHERS, UNCLE NEIL AND UNCLE HANS, PULLED OUT "TWO GUYS AND A BANNER" AND MARCHED IN THE PARADE.

   
I WAS ON THE SUPPORT CREW, WHICH AMOUNTED TO HOLDING DOWN A BAR STOOL AT THE WOBBLING DUCK.

A RARE TREAT TO HAVE ALL THREE BROTHERS TOGETHER AND WE ENJOYED THE PARADE, RODEO, AND TOUR OF UNCLE NEIL'S NEW RETIREMENT HOME IN TOMAHAWK, WI.

RENEE AND AUNT KATHY:

NEXT UP ON OUR WISCONSIN ROAD TRIP IS CHASING A CHILDHOOD MEMORY WITH A VISIT TO CANYON CAMP WHERE I SPENT ALL MY TEEN YEARS ON STAFF.
