The Lone Star Stampede in Conroe
Wrangle the kids in the car on Memorial Day weekend and head to the city of Conroe for a three-day tribute to a tied and true Texas tradition, the rodeo.

Attractions

This is really no event to worry about. I (along with many other vendors) paid an astronimical amount to set up at this event. Not only did the "rodeo" (which their website bragged about every where) consist of no rodeo at all performing, the bands that were set to perform were very bad excuses for entertainment. My booth was maybe 10 yards from the stage so I can truly say they were horrible. All vendors began a petition to maybe get our fees back. There were maybe 200 people all together who came through the fair grounds. Vendors came from all over Texas to do what they do best, serve the public. The problem is there was no public to serve. If you are considering visiting here next year please don't waste your money.
