Another Fine Rodeo in Georgetown

The Williamson County Sheriff’s Posse Rodeo celebrated its 70th year this past weekend in the venerable arena at San Gabriel Park in Georgetown, Texas.    Even though it was a very warm weekend (104 degrees on Friday when I took these photos, even hotter the next day!), few people seemed to mind.    The cowboys are tough folks, obviously used to it.    Two of the younger cowpokes on board for Mutton Bustin’ were 6-year-old Hesston Cranor of Coupland, Texas, seen in the opening photo, and his sister Izabella,  also pictured, who turns 7 on the 4th of July (what a fine day to celebrate your birth), also seen in this post.  And let’s not forget King, a very loyal 8-month-old Pit Bull who sat patiently while his owner, bull rider Dwin Roland of Lockhart, Texas prepared for his ride.  These are among the images I took for the Williamson County Sun
