Real cowboys wear pink


Spent Sunday at the Puyallup Fair and was wowed by a couple things. First, I was there with friends to watch the finals of the PRCA Rodeo (I am a farm boy from Nebraska after all) and was blown away to see all the cowboys wearing pink shirts. Turns out they were raising money and awareness for breast cancer research in association with the Susan B. Komen Foundation. The Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign was organized by Wrangler Jeans and many other companies from the Western Industry to raise awareness and support for breast cancer research. Even our local Renton Western Wear has gotten into the act and is offering the T-shirt you see at the left. Well, YEE HAW!.
