Watch a Sports Game at a Country Sports Bar

Every country is unique and every state within every country usually has its own set of customs and activities. If you are visiting or living in Michigan, particularly outside of the bustling cities and in the countryside, then you are definitely going to want to visit a country sports bar. The Michigan people enjoy throwing back a drink, watching a sports game and don't forget – they also enjoy placing a bet or two. If you want to prepare for a true Michigan country night out, you may want to look at this website to learn all that you can about laying a sports wager, as there are some strict rules, plus some tricks, that could help get you by a little easier around the Michigan crowd. In true Michigan country spirit, you have to be ruthlessly loyal to your favorite team and put a small wager on the line to show that you mean business. Now, please be aware, that this is all meant to be in good fun, so never place a bet larger than what your pocket can handle.

Listen to Live Country Music

If sports or betting aren't your thing, then you're in luck because the Michigan countryside has so much more to offer, especially when it comes to country music. The likes of Tim McGraw, Luke Combs and Taylor Swift (before she went pop) are some of the best ways to enjoy the true USA countryside. Naturally, the bigger the name, the harder it will be to get tickets to a live show but if you simply head to the local townhouse you're near to and enquire about any farm markets where there will also be live music, or even a smaller or more intimate live music setting, you are sure to find the ideal artist to listen to. The sweet melodies that come with every strum of the guitar, matched the the twang of the countryside people and their skill of creating lyrics that are both simple and impactful in their structure, is sure to hit a nerve with the audience.

Partake in a Rodeo

Whilst a true rodeo is a professional equestrian sport, you are by no means expected to know how to ride a real horse to partake in a Michigan countryside activity, especially because it is a sport that requires extreme amounts of training and knowledge and can result in injury if you do not do it correctly. Therefore, a much smarter approach, especially when it comes to doing it the first time, is to go to a theme park where they have a faux rodeo set. This is usually in the form of a machine-operated horse or cow that bucks and moves alongside some country tunes. The aim is to stay seated on the machine animal for as long as you can. Rodeo establishments often have record holders for the people who were able to stay safely on the animal for the longest amount of time. Don't worry, you can't get as hurt as with the real thing, as the area surrounding the machine-operated animal is lined with cushions so that you do not injure yourself when you fall or climb off.
