Let's Rodeo!
The Georgia Gay Rodeo Association hosted their annual rodeo on the weekend of July 22-24, 2005. The rodeo was held at the International Horse Park, in Conyers, Georgia. The weather was hot, and so was the action!
The Florida Gay Rodeo Association sent members to Atlanta to compete, and to help recruit new members for the association. We even had our first members claim money and ribbons!
Here are some pictures from the weekend - thanks to Cowboy Mike. They're in no particular order. Click on the thumbnail to see the full size picture. Use the browser's back button to return to this page.
