Actually the Rodeo is quite fun. I didn't think I would like it either but it is a good excuse to eat really good ice cream!

It looks like their website hasn't been updated yet. But usually 7:30pm Carousel Farms Bull Riding and Barrel Racing.

it is 7:30 Andy... they parked the dump truck near the road with the sign its at the intersection of 401 ( louisburg road) and spring forest road.....

The rodeo was the first time I decided to stop lurking on the forum and come out to meet people too.... Biggest mistake of my life... just kidding... The rodeo is great. I have been going to it for years.

Andy -- the driveway goes back in the woods about 1/2 mile. You'll pass a house on the way and you'll swear you're not in the right spot, then suddenly the woods open up and you see the rodeo facility. Oh, and it's $5/person to get in.

And for those that haven't been there before, fast lens are a good thing if you're shooting cow and horse action.

So, are we like official photogs for them? I noticed their layout of shots and some looked familiar.

crfleury  Pro User  says:

Hey Brenda.... I think... Kids under 12 are free... don't quote me on that though. And no I dont' think we are official photogs but fubuk's pictures are the slide show on their website. They are just very photographer friendly. Its a great place.

I have heard that the rodeo announcer passed away this Winter. His enthusiasm is really what made the rodeo a complete preference so it will be interesting to see what its like now.

I am not sure I am going to be able to make it. I have plans that day and might not be done before then. If I am I will come out.

batts rd or spring forest rd?
Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )

SCrocker  Pro User  says:

Intersection of Spring Forest and 401/Louisburg Rd . If you are coming across on Spring Forest from US 1, there is a dirt road at about 10 o'clock across 401 that you want to go down or go across to Kyle Dr and take the first left onto a dirt road.

Here is a map but pay no attention to the green arrow. The farm is the large open field in the upper right of the frame. You can see the roads leading in on the satelite view

I ended up going to the Captivated By The Light seminar (good times) but hope there will be another meet up soon. I recently moved to NC from NH and want to meet people, especially those as crazy about photography as I am, and get out and see what NC has to offer!
