Entry: The National Finals Rodeo Wednesday



Have you started trying for the National Final Rodeo tickets?

What is a Rodeo?
A rodeo is a sport event which its origin is attributed to the practice of cattle hearding in spain, Mexico, US, Canada, Australia, etc. It is an event where Cowboys take part in many time judged events involving cattle and horses. It is designed in such a way that the skill, speed and ability of the cowboys and cowgals are tested. This is the official sport of Wyoming and Texas.

NFR
The National Finals Rodeo, organized by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, is the premier championship rodeo event in the United States. Wrangler Jeans is the title sponsor for the 10-day event, commonly just called the National Finals or NFR, which is also sometimes referred to as the World Series of Rodeo and the Super Bowl of Rodeo. The NFR is held each year in the first full week of December, at the Thomas & Mack Center on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

History
The NFR came to Las Vegas (it was previously in Oklahoma.) in 1985 and since then this sport is an integral part of the city. In 2007 NFR have got an official song, the "Cowboy Town," recorded by superstar duo Brooks and Dunn. The hero of 2007 was Trevor Brazile, PRCA's triple crown champion.(he was a champion in 2004 and 2006.

I have not been to a rodeo event before but this certainly sounds interesting, isn't it? But, if you're living in the United States now, be sure to catch this!
