Lost Dutchman Days is held in Apache Junction every year. It celebrates the cowboy heritage of the area with a rodeo. This year the start of the celebration began at the Apache Junction Elks Lodge with a Bratfest. The theme for this year's Lost Dutchman Days was "Are you tough enough to wear pink?"
I bought a shirt and Max, it turned out, was tough enough to wear pink! |
The rodeo grounds and arena are where the real festivities reside. There are two stages and they have different bands or entertainment every few hours. |
And of course there is the carnival. You just couldn't find a more spectacular setting than the Superstition Mountains. |
But the real entertainment was the daily rodeo. |
It started with a wonderful salute to our flag and our great country! |
As you can see, even the horses were celebrating in pink! |
And the cowboys too! Pink shirts and pink chaps. |
We saw bareback bronc riding. |
And you can't have a rodeo without a clown, also in pink. |
Calf roping. |
Clown entertainment. |
Saddle bronc riding. |
Steer wrestling. |
