Has anyone here been? Is it worth the ride to go check out?
The wife wants to go see the crafts and I want to see a bull stomp somebody.

Haven't been in a while, crafts are cool, whitetrash everywhere, all in all not a bad way to spend a day if you have nothing going on.

Go early

I went once and wasnt even close enough to see the prison when they started turning everyone around saying it was sold out.

Honestly, I thought it was a little overrated. Saw some guys get absolutely destroyed during the rodeo which was fun to watch. Some great arts and crafts all over the place, but get there early if you want some of the better things. Weather was great when I went this past spring, but I probably won't go back. It was my first time to Angola and was VERY impressed with the property overall...beautiful place.

Something I laughed at a lot while walking around the crafts show. Some of these guys make great looking pieces whether it be chairs, swings, clocks, belts, etc., and then they ruin it by painting or carving 15 fleur de lis or dora the explorer all over it.

I think I'll go ahead and purchase my tickets online.
That would suck to get all the way there and not see anything.

I hate rodeos, but I had a really good time at this one. Not your typical rodeo events, it seems all events are aimed at getting an inmate severely injured. So thats fun to see. Also if you have any need for wooden furniture this is the place to be.

Well worth it IMO. Was way better than I expected. Good food and nice crafts. If your interested in something you can usually jew them down on the price. Got my son a nice little chair for $20, he was asking $30. Also be prepared for the inmates walking around gawking at your wife.

I suggest everyone go at least once. Some of the crafts are nice and the rodeo is entertaining. Better than Wal-marks for people watching

My brother-in-law has access to some reserved tickets. I was told they got them for us for the last weekend. I have never been but heard great things.

All the people I know who have gone, love it. I know a few people who go annually.

A friend of mine got here brother a Lil' Jon wooden wishing well. Yes, he was screaming and holding a pimp cup in the painting on the roof of the well.

Her brothers name was also Jon spelled the same way as the rapper.
