Remarks:
Jack almost starved rodeoin’ in little towns such as Electra. The filmmakers used a wooden fence and different camera angles to disguise the fact that this is also the site of the Childress rodeo, where Jack’s overtures were more warmly received.

Should you find yourself in Rockyford in late July, why not enjoy the rodeo yourself? For information, call (403) 533-3950. See also:
