Rodeo Kids

One of my favourite things about the Yass rodeo is all the kids who come out of the woodwork looking like miniature cowboys and cowgirls. The dress-up is intentional, but it's about more than show — the plaid shirts are crinkled, the jeans bear the odd hole, the hats are stained and boots are in need of a good shine. The costumes are so well-worn, but I never see the kids donning them any other time during the year!
