My personal opinion. I saw a ton of fashion posts on Facebook... Didn't see anyone dressed inappropriately IMO. They all looked gorgeous, barrel racing contestants, wives, girlfriends, everybody!

| I see all of the family members holding back number signs. I wonder if they make them, or if these are provided/can be purchased. I think its cool to see all the custom back number jewelry also! |

Location: Missouri | So I was honored with the chance to carry flags at the NFR this year. The amount of behind the scenes I got to see was AMAZING! There is so much you don't think about and actually being able to see it with my eyes was awesome. If anyone would like to know anything, ask away!!  |

Location: Idahome | I got to watch the early barrel practice as well as the grand entry practice. They only ran through the grand entry 3 or 4 times this year. The contestants had to enter and exit correctly and be done if they did, but yes announcers some of the music, etc. was all done at full speed the last time. There is good security on the grounds for the horses, but most of the barrel racers keep their horses elsewhere and they all have people there to help with chores. They are often up and at the trade shows as soon as they open for appearances and signings. I know many that cut off a couple hours before the rodeo so they can go to their room and rest before the rodeo. |

Most of everything you see is your basic rodeo atmosphere. There are two warm up areas for everyone to use and the stall tents are located about a 1/2 mi back of the arena. Because the grounds are literally right next to the airport, it gets REALLY loud! Planes fly in day and night and at times you have to stop your conversation because you can't hear! Security is TIGHT! If you don't have credentials you do not get in anywhere. Lots of contestants haul in and out each night. Mostly barrel racers, but there really is a mix. Everyone is very very nice. All the barrel racers warm up in the outside arena and then come into the tent by the alley. Not all come up early, most of them stay back from the arena. Taylor, Fallon, Sarah, Vickie, and Michelle came up early almost every night. The opening acts are practiced every night after the rodeo for the next night. Most of the singers are not there to actually practice and anything to do with contestants we fill in for them. |
