I grew up maybe 5 miles from the rodeo grounds. My grandparents are buried right across the street. Had a friend ride bulls there and a classmate barrel race there but I have never been to the rodeo there. Went to a few Brad West concerts there in the 70's. They were a lot of fun with local bands like Julius and #### Robin. One year Brad scored big time and had Dickey Betts as a headliner. Well here we were 10 feet from the stage waiting for Dickey to show. Waited and waited and waited and no Dickey. There was a guy behind us. A spitting image of Twiggs Lyndon the road manager for the Allman Brothers. He had a wildwoods cigar in his teeth. Kept muttering "Where's Dickey Betts? We want Dickey Betts. Where's Dickey Betts?" I (probably 15 or 16 at the time) turn around and say "he's not ***** coming!! Jesus!!" I'm surprised Brad didn't get run out of town for that fiasco. 4 hours ago, Bob Lamb said: I advise don't go to: Jamboree in the Woods – Springville - 7/29-8/1 Too many huckleberries Thanks for the advice but I don't need any advice.

Leslie West was supposed to perform... we waited, hung around, smoked, etc... he never showed up. Finally we cut bait and partied somewhere else, I forget where.

I'm friends with the bass player from Julius. We used to jam around town a million years ago. I just messaged him to see if that was the same show as the Dickey Betts one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s my friend’s reply: No, Dickey Betts was the only act, Betts staff refused to use the flat bed to set up, saying not big enough, etc, then kept deposit $$, and big argument went down, that’s the story I know, I’m good thanks 😊 1 hour ago, Augie said: I hope you ignore my advice to look into the status of your AAA membership.

My dad was a ski instructor at Holiday Valley forever. He tells a story of riding the lift after he moved there. A couple see’s he’s in an instructor’s jacket and asked if he was local. He said yes. But prior he was in Attica for 30 years. He said they scooted over a bit on the lift. LOL 2 hours ago, mead107 said: How long you going to be in Attica? Not sure.

Just Jack Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 @Chef Jim, there's going to be some interesting characters in WNY the end of July, beginning of August. Where do you suggest I go to stay out of the area? Any AirBnB you know of in the Cali region, near a golf course maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep the keys handy at ALL times. This could have been one year later or one year earlier... I honestly don't remember, but it would be between 74 and 78 for sure. Thanks for checking it out. Enjoy your vacation back on the homegrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know of a GREAT AirBnB on a golf course. Unfortunately it's about 150 degrees there that time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
