Rodeo is big at the Colorado State Fair!  There will be five nights of PRCA Rodeo, along with Professional Bull Riding and a Mexican-themed rodeo called Celebración de los Charros.  Fiesta Day, which is a celebration of Colorado Hispanic culture, is a long-standing tradition at the fair.  This year it will be held on Sunday the 31st.  There will be daredevil shows, and shows featuring monkeys, sea lions, and tigers.  The concert roster is headed up by Sugarland.  See the fair website for further information.
