Coffeyville Fair & Rodeo

I was able to take a trip to Kansas during August to visit friends in Kansas City and Coffeyville and take in the Coffeyville Interstate Fair & Rodeo. This was the 100th anniversary of the Fair & Rodeo. Last year (2007), the Fair & Rodeo was cancelled due to flooding in Coffeyville. While I was in Kansas, Mark made a trip to Green Bay to attend Packer training camp and then took in 2 Milwaukee Brewer games.

Here are pictures from my time in Kansas:
