Annapolis Valley Ex Wednesday Rodeo Night! Where's the Beef?

Wow! I was blown away by how many people came out tonight. I was at the EX last year, and this year seems to be even bigger than last! Thanks to everyone who showed up, and thanks to the crowd of 3,000 plus that gave AVR a round of applause at the rodeo. We do this for you, and without you we mind as well just pick ear wax out of ears! Thank you so much, it means so much to all of us that you appreciate our hard work!

Jennifer never says no to ice cream, especially if it's the new Farmers flavours and it's free!

Here's the story. I went to the big horse barns to look for my buddies Peter Pinch and Jeff Fiske and ran across this guy. He said, "So you're Jerry Neville, I really like that girl." That girl is Amanda Misner and she is sitting with her new best friend George Hebb!

A gang of misfits for sure! Footie, Ed, Nick, Kim and Brandon

Don't call him chicken, he's a rooster!

Until today I had no idea you can cut a cows hair! Seriously!

What kind of Ex would it be without great food!

Little Horsey!

I am really bad at carnival games, but Jen Seems to win every time!

That's just not a pig, it's a smoker from H.E.A.T. Pretty cool!

All the toys on the midway!

Lots o' rides too!

My Buddy Jeff Fiske. We used to work together at Eastlink together, now he is still there and I am at AVR!

This is my other buddy Peter Pinch. He works at Shay Tire in Berwick

This is the AVR Broadcast center provided by Park Street Trailers. Just to give you an idea of the size, the speakers are 12 inches and the AVR banner is 6 feet long!

Cute little baby cows!

She was in the Little Miss Ex Pageant, then she tore off her dress and came over to the main ring to win the Wild n' Wooly sheep rodeo! She is Little Miss Aylesford

AVR News Hound Brian Mumford and his 1.3 second ride! He has more guts than me because I said no way would I do it! Sorry about how dark it is, my camera doesn't do well in low light conditions.

Exhibition Idol tonight, Stampeders tomorrow and Shane Yellowbird Saturday. Not to mention I am in the farmer's challenge, and after 4-H people meet me, why do they laugh when I say I am in the farmer's challenge?
