Slap a shine on your boots and dust off your Stetson; it’s
time for Fort Worth’s infamous Fat Stock Show
and Rodeo! Rodeo tickets sell out fast, so don’t wait too long to lock
yours down. Monday through Friday Matinee Performances are $19.00 and Friday evening
through Sunday evening performances are $25.00, making it one of the most
reasonable entertainment bargains around, considering the fun, thrills and
excitement that accompany a rodeo event. The annual Fort
Worth Fat Stock Show and Rodeo is a great way to experience Texas heritage and traditions that date
back to 1896.
If you think the era of cowboys and the rugged west is over,
a day at the Fat Stock Show will cause you to think again. There’s plenty of
Texas culture to get steeped in. Exhibits,
food, livestock exhibitions,
parades and plenty of scheduled entertainment happening every day throughout
the Stock Show season which kicks off this week and extends through February 9th.
If you want a bit of Texas tradition to take
home, you’ll certainly find it here. You can shop for everything from belt buckles, boots
and western wear to Stock Show souvenirs, artwork and livestock.
