June 7, 2015 Union OR

Today we spent the day at the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show.  It is a combination of a 4H fair, horse racing, and Rodeo.  I have always wanted to visit a small town Rodeo.  Union with a population of 2120 meets the small town criteria.  It seemed like the whole town was out for the Rodeo and everyone looked like they were having fun.

There was quite a bit of action with horse races mixed in with the rodeo events.  The rodeo is a kind of minor league for the big time rodeos you see on TV. 

Note all of the cowboys wearing pink for breast cancer awareness.

After the rodeo we payed a visit to Barley Brown’s Brewery to fill up the growler.  We also bought a nice half-growler to use for water, but first we will have to finish the beer that was included.
