Calgary Stampede

Olin was so excited when he was invited to the Calgary Stampede this year. This is a rodeo that he has always wanted to go to but you have to be invited. This rodeo is the biggest single payday in rodeo. You have a chance if you make it through the finales to run one steer for 100,000 dollars. Olin had a great rodeo but if you ask him he said he could have done better.(Olin is very competitive). The first day he was there it was raining hard and there was about 4inches of mud in the arena. See Video... Every night from there on they would re-play this video over and over. The second night he was one out of the money, Third night he took 2nd, the fourth night he broke the barrier and the last day he took 5th. Over all he came home with 7,500 dollars!! Good 5 days huh!
