  • Rodeo Bonus Features

    Dale "Gizmo" McCracken will be working the crowds at rodeo performances each night. The Professional Rodeo Comedy Act award winner is known for using gadgets and gizmos that "go sour." McCracken has been working rodeos for 27 years, and said no one can predict what he'll do next inside the arena. Crowds can expect to see one of his "alter egos" — Ozzy Osborn, Jerry Lewis, Sir–Rink–In Machine or Elvis.
