OME Events Brings Back Orange County Stampede: Bull Riding Rodeo to NY

One event that has been gaining excitement at rodeos is Bubble Bull Soccer. I have not heard of this event being added to any of our local rodeos but it is very popular with spectators. I recently saw a post about it in a social media group and I am hoping we will get a chance to witness this craziness at some point in person at one of our local rodeos.

Murphy the Old Horse Who Loved Guinness

Most of us were introduced to Murphy last November when Manhattan Beer Distributors donated him a supply of Guinness to help him thrive. Thanks to them and all the great folks who cared for Murphy over the years he had a great life. Equine Rescue Resources was Murphy's last home and we found these photos on their Facebook page.

Most of us are used to seeing concerts at the Orange County Fair Grounds outside on the track but did you know they have a great indoor space as well? I was just there for Scotty McCreery's Same Truck Tour so I thought I would snap a few pictures so you can check the place out.
