Sparta Rodeo, and all the Wood I Could Carry
All the wood I could carry for $3.00!
The Sparta Rodeo, for years the one annual event I and my comrades looked forward to all year long. For one long weekend of rodeo, horseback riding, camping, carousing, and of course, drinking, we planned, saved, strategized, and practiced. Considering the fact that our families were not particularly well off, and my friends and I were basically broke teenagers, we tended to scimp on expenditures. That’s why we couldn’t pass up this deal. The man selling firewood said “All the wood you can carry from my truck to yours, for $3.00.” So with a little support from my friend Phil, and recorded for posterity by my other friend Mike (see the Uncle Deano post below), I had the guy load me up. Boy, I’d say we got the best of this deal!
