Cody Nite Rodeo is a great place to whoop and shout. And it is a great place to learn a bit of cowboy culture. Watch cowboys ride bulls, rope steer and ride broncs. Observe cowboys and cowgirls barrel race and rope calves. Laugh with cowboy clowns but take note of their skill; their job is to keep bucked bull riders safe. And if you arrive a few minutes before the competition begins try your hand at tossing a cowboy rope. Rodeos are exhibitions of skills.
