Hey, we had a BLAST last night at the Mesquite Rodeo that reopened this weekend after undergoing - what I understand - is a major renovation! Got them a couple of small jumbo-trons (is there such a thing?) (Speaking of jumbo-trons, the new Cowboy Stadium in Arlington is bosting the country's largest flat-screen weighing in at 660 TONS. Now, I'm just thinking, I hope to gosh that they didn't put SEATS under that thing...), also the MR is showing off a cool laser show at the beginning - and - did YOU know that a RODEO arena can handle all that plus a motor-cycle stunt rider (TROY - THE WILD CHILD)??
All of the bronc-busting, bull-riding, barrell racing and general horse showmanship was really good. I have to place a side note here - it is a RODEO and there needs to be much, much more of all of the above mentioned RODEO items. A little too much talk ! Oh - and we probably could've done without Leisel's piano playing to whoever the 'lady' was trying to sing opera...(yeah, they did)...all in all, the cowboys that were playing in this arena this night were very good - and put on a good show.
Sonny B's Barbeque was really good and a great choice over the hamburger/hot dogs that the Rodeo itself had to offer (again, my mind is thinking - wonder what all those BULLS were thinking about the smell of Barbeque lingering in the air?? - why am I so weird sometimes?) and the price was RIGHT. For around $11 I had myself a great BBQ dinner with all the fixins' including lemonade! (The kids who didn't want BBQ had A (one) hotdog, chips and a drink for $7...now there's just something criminal about that). We managed to do the right thing and get there early enough for dinner and a show - cannot beat that!
Good job, Mesquite! We'll be back!
