Robert Blankenship of Mount Lookout, West Virginia attended this year’s Easyriders Rodeo Tour in Chillicothe, Ohio on his own. “My wife won’t come out here because of the shenanigans that go on,” said Blankenship. “I don’t go to most of that but she saw some photos from when I brought my son. I took the heat for him when she found the photos. I’m not saying I go to that stuff but if it is happening in front of me I’m going to look.” Blankenship said he has been attending the rodeo nearly every year since he and his son drove through in 1994.

Rick Brown of Mason, Ohio said this year was his 20th year to attend the Easyriders Rodeo in Chillicothe, OH. Brown said the best part of the festival continues to be the evenings in the camping area where festival goers put on their own music shows and acts. “It gets pretty wild,” said Brown. “You know, there is a stage back there that somebody set up. It’s a lot of fun.”
