Golden Meadow Fourchon Tarpon Rodeo

They don't make a great meal and they're not particularly good to look at, but they sure are fun to fight with... but enough about my exes! (I'll be here all week.) Come to the wonderfully named Golden Meadow for the Tarpon Rodeo. There's the prospect of tarpon to catch for the anglers, and plenty of food, music, and seaside fun for those who prefer their seafood pre-scaled. $35 registers an adult for the rodeo and also gives access to the air-conditioned entertainment tent all rodeo long and a boiled shrimp dinner (not to mention the chance to win over $15,000 in rodeo awards and door prizes).
