Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

National Western Stock Show 2026

 


This year's Denver stock show is taking place January 10th - 25th.

Now, why would they hold a stock show in Denver in January? I have no idea.

There must be a reason but I don't know what it is. But of all the places I want to be in January, Denver is not one of them. I want to be laying on a beach in January, not battling snow in the Rocky Mountains.

Anyway, on Sunday January 11th they will be holding what they call "Mexican Rodeo Extravaganza." This is when in years past they have had a bloodless bullfight. I don't think they do it every year, and I know in years past the local newspapers have called it "controversial." 

Whatever, so many uneducated people out there.

I'm going to try and keep my eyes on the local papers and see if they hold another bullfight this year. I think it would be wonderful if they did.

Viva la Fiesta!
