Mutton Bustin

 

Cameron rode a sheep in the Mutton Bustin Contest. This took place in Logandale at the Clark County Fair. He was against 14 other contestants. He did awesome, and ended up getting 3rd place! His motivation stemmed from seeing a toy gun at the fair that he wanted bad. We told him if he stayed on the sheep, and didn't let go until the 6 second buzzer that he would win enough money to buy the gun. He did exactly what we said. Even though he was sideways on the sheep for the majority of the ride, he held on until the buzzer. He let go as soon as the buzzer sounded! He was awarded 18 dollars and given a Mutton Bustin shirt. They took the top 5 riders from two of the contests to be in the final championship that same evening. Cameron did good, but not as good as the first one. He ended up with 7Th place overall! He was awarded another 10 dollars from that ride. He was very excited to walk away with a grand total of 28 dollars. Immediately after the ride we took Cameron to buy his toy gun. He was slightly excited!
