Box Elder County Fair and Rodeo, 2011

It's a Buxton family tradition to meet at the Farm Bureau burger stand, for some of the best homemade hamburgers, prior to the rodeo. This year we were joined by Nan, Loralee, Heber, Leandra, Brian, Brilee (5), and Rosie and family.

Special recognition went to the many EMT's that help out at the rodeo each year, including this life flight helicopter that hovered overhead before the rodeo.


It was another great rodeo, even though the cattle won as usual. There were some great rides, though...the highlight of the night being a young girl's ride backwards on a sheep (mutton-busting) all the way across the arena for a score of 91!! The motorcycle dare devils put on an amazing show, too, with their perfect jumps and stunts from one ramp to another high in the air! And good ol' clown, Randy Muns, our age, was still performing.
