Rodeo season is upon us
again, with all the hoop-la and
fanfare that, usually accompa-
nies such an occasion.
This year’s program will be
complete with all the trim-
mings, from the parade tp the
rodeos, the dances, the barbe-
cues, the dedication of the
historical marker on the Sout-
hern Hotel, and a number of
other goodies throughout, the
weekend. You name it, and
Llano’s got.it,this weekend.
The Llano rodeo has drawn
large crowds for many years,
and the receipts from the
event,have paid off the indeb-
tjng. Interment, was in the
Erath Gardens of Memory in
pnenville.

Of course, the rodeo parade

queen and her retinue will

Rodeos have been popular
in the West, and Southwest,
since the early days of ranch-
ing. The rodeo events once

People go tp rodeos for a
variety of reasons.
For some, it,is the principal
social event, of the season-a
time for gathering with friends
from throughout, the county
and beyond, of hobnobbing
about, what,’s happened since
they last,met, and exchanging
of the juicy tidbits of gossip
that.old friends indulge Tn.
Others thoroughly enjoy
seeing the performers tpke
part, in the sporty that, have
been a part,of working ranches
since time immemorial, the
roping, broc riding, bull riding
barrel racing, and all of the
other western oriented sports.
Still another faction go so
see someone get, tpssed off a
bull or bronc on nis rear end,
and this group usually gets
their money's worth in the
Llano rodeos.
Still others enjoy the rodeo
clowns, corny as they are. Not.
tpo many, however, realize
tjiat, humor is not, the primary
purpose of a rodeo clown. His
humor is strictly incidental.
His real purpose, and the most,
important, one, is tp keep the
wild bulls off the riders until
they get, out, of the arena.
Many a rodeo down has saved
the life of a cowboy who was
tpssed off a bull, simply by
diverting the bull’s attyntjon

Indian fable of Enchanted
Rock and t|ie continuing pre-

who opposes drinking in his
century old Boerne home.
“Others nearly made the
book”, Syers says. "A phan-

Kerrville and an old house at. folklore, brought, right, tp the
Mason. I couldn’t, develop present. It. may not, tpp Ed’s
