Topeka will be a wreck this weekend.

There is a Teamroping being held at the barn right next to the Expo Center. I have competed in it for several years now. I will be going to watch my son wrestle, so no roping for me this weekend.

Just on the average year half of the south east parking lot is full of ropers with horses and trailers.

I can't understand why they booked both events. I know several ropers that I had called and told them a month ago that rooms will be tight. Of course none of them could get rooms that are usually easy to get a month in advance.

This is going to hurt the roping and make it a complete (even more) mess around the Expo Center this weekend.

Everybody just be prepared for long lines in every resturant and lets all hope the hotels we all have had booked for a long time now hold up their end and don't double book.

On a normal year of this roping two weeks before it there are no rooms.

Everyone please double checks your reservations.
