Wednesday in Wyoming - April 29, 2020

Ending our month of smile-inducing pictures from the Laramie County Fair is this one of a teenager getting her sheep ready for the competition. I'm amazed at how much work she put into grooming the sheep and even more amazed at how well behaved it was.

Did you smile at this month's pictures? I hope so!

Remember the sheep from mutton busting? Most of them looked like ordinary sheep. This one, however, had a lion cut that made both the announcers and me smile.

Mutton busting isn't the only event for children at the county fair. Younger kids enjoy their own version of barrel racing, only instead of real horses, they ride stick horses, and traffic cones replace barrels. What doesn't change is the fun and excitement they have.

Look at this young cowboy. Not only is he wearing a cowboy hat and boots, but he also has chaps. A future rodeo champ in the making.

Here's another picture, also from the county fair, that made me smile. Are these alpacas siblings or simply friends? I don't know. All I know is that they're adorable.

In a world that seems filled with unhappy news and dire predictions, we all need reasons to smile. That's why this month's Wednesday in Wyoming posts will  feature pictures that made me smile.

Have you ever seen mutton busting? I was introduced to it the year we moved to Cheyenne when my husband and I attended the county fair.

Who wouldn't smile at the determination of this young cowboy to remain on the sheep's back, even when the sheep had other ideas? I certainly did.
