Angola prison rodeo canceled due to COVID 19

ST. FRANCISVILLE, La. (WAFB) - The Angola Prison Fall Rodeo has been canceled due to the ongoing surge of COVID-19 cases across the state and out of an abundance of caution and for the health and safety of staff and prisoners.
The Fall Rodeo was scheduled for every Sunday in October, in addition the arts and crafts fair that is also part of the rodeo has been canceled as well.
Louisiana State Penitentiary staff will contact individuals who have already purchased tickets and issue refunds.
The Angola Prison Rodeo is the longest-running prison rodeo in the country. It first began in 1965 as a joint endeavor between offenders, prison employees, and civilians who live in Angola’s residential area. The first two rodeos, in 1965 and 1966, were not open to the public.
What will I ever do….

I thought from reading this board that only Nola stuff is being cancelled.

More canceled October events where we'll be in one of the biggest case lulls we've had the whole time by then.

Outdoor rodeo, or indoor stuffed like sardines.

Can't risk the bulls being infected?

The prisoners are put into a pen with bulls but they're concerned about their safety.
The prisoners love the rodeo because it provides them with a break from the shite life they have. I bet they're pissed over this.

I've heard they treat it as an honor to be a part of it and not just get to watch in the caged section of the stands.

People don't go home from football stadiums into tight quarters with 7,000 other people.
Not saying I agree with the decision to cancel the rodeo but the decision has nothing to do with the safety of attendees.
