Vollie FD Rodeo

[MariaCatEMT]

Well, my husband and I just found out from one of our Lt's last night that our department has to throw a crew together for a competition between vollie FD's at our county fair.......and get this......it's not water balls and things of that nature, but noooooooooooo

It's calf roping. Yes....calf roping. Like any of us know a thing about calf roping LOL. Should be entertaining for the crowd anyway

Can I go??? I'll be in IL for two weeks at the end of August... in a G-d forsaken place called "Lisle"...

That sounds pretty cool. Bullriding would be better though.

I think the department's risk manager, and workers comp agency will have HUGE issues with this idea, since 99.9% of ALL insurance carriers will NOT cover ANY injury resulting from RODEO activities...but hey if yours does good luck, I just hope no one gets hurt!:unsure:

It's *calf roping* - if they manage to get hurt, it's because they were total oafs.

unless you're talking about roping a calf from a horse. I've seen it done both ways. One from the ground, which is kind of a fun event, and then there's the "run after calf with a horse and rope & tie it" event.



Either way, it sounds fun - and I bet there are bbq ribs involved.

Um.....where's Lisle? LOL! I've lived in IL since 1992 and never heard of Lisle. I will google it. The fair is at the end of July....sorry....but maybe I could swing a day trip on a weekend and meet you? I'd be the fat old chick driving around lost in a 12 year old pick-up!
