47th Annual Kona Stampede Rodeo March 22-24, 2011

During the many years we spent on the Big Island, we always managed to miss this rodeo for one reason or another. Then in 2011, after "bumping" into a very dear friend we hadn't seen in a long time, we found out she was going to be competing in the event, so we took in two days’ worth of great action!

A total of 250 contestants participated in events including: Wahine (women's) Calf Mugging, Keiki (kid's) Barrel Racing, Kane/Wahine (men's/women's) Ribbon Mugging, Double Mugging, Team Roping, Open Tie Down, Bull Riding, and more!

I photographed all of the events that our friend, Kainoa DeGuair and her family were in, as well as everything else on March 22 and 24th, 2011. What a blast to see the talent and skill of all these real-life Paniolos, carrying on this tradition from one generation to the next!
