Shannon's Trivia: Bronco Buster of a puzzler

Great Crepes, Ice Cream Woman! Melting chocolate in folds of fantasticness covered in ice cream and whip cream? The only crime here is not getting a fork into it sooner.

The Dalles, Ore., Sept. 20, 2024 — Ok Puzzlers, strap on your spurs and dig in on this one.

We are coming to you live from the arena of 1934 with this headsnapper.

Put your boots in the stirrups and see if you can give this one 8 seconds.

We want to know in which local park this rodeo took place.

Was it:

  1. Thompson Park

  2. Sorosis Park

  3. Firehouse Park

You might want to ride your Philly around and chew on your bit before answering. But don’t get saddle soar- you’ve got a 33.333333333333333% chance of turning this into a giant belt buckle when you open the gate.

And here’s the bull that will bust your brain. See if you can tell us who the rider is above. If you can shoe that one, tell us the name of the horse. I believe that one will break the bronc rein.
