Yesterday a twelve year old boy died bull riding in the Little Britches Rodeo at the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont. This made national news, including that of the Drudge Report and has subsequently crashed the website of our local hometown newspaper online link to their coverage of the story. (UPDATE: the website of the TC is now back up with an updated story, including a statement from the family, click HERE to read it)
Past events of the Little Britches Rodeo included that of youths doing calf roping and mutton busting. Yesterday was also a free day for spectators at the rodeo.
