Yee Haw! It's time to giddy-up and head 'em out to the Fox Hollow Rodeo for some fantastic action photography. You will have the opportunity to see and photograph children's Mutton Bustin', Youth Bull Riding, semi-pro Bull riding and Barrel Racing. In addition, there is typically a boot race for the kids, "money the hard way" for the bravest adults, line dancing and other fun things through out the night.
The west side of the arena is a great place to have the sun over your shoulder and still be able to get the bulls coming out of the gates as well as the barrel racers rounding the near barrel and the far end barrel as they race to the end of the course. You can stand close to the fencing to photograph, but; holding on to the railing or sticking your camera lens through the fence is dangerous and will draw a warning from the officials.
Saturday June 21st, the gates open around 5:00 PM and the Mutton Bustin' starts things off around 6:00PM. The cost of admission is $15.00 per person. There are two different food stands located on the grounds with everything from pulled pork sandwiches or hot dogs to funnel cakes and other fun foods.
