San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo When: February [check for this year's dates] Location: AT&T Center and Freeman Coliseum Grounds, 3201 E. Houston St. Known for: 16 days of western fun; one of San Antonios
largest events Events: Grab your cowboy hat and get ready to rodeo!
Activities include a rodeo, a Western parade, educational displays,
a concert series, a carnival midway, and plenty of Western fun.
Family Fun: The Family Fair is a top stop for families, with educational
displays, entertainment of special interest to younger visitors,
plenty of food, and more. The Hall of Heritage takes visitors back
to the days of the Old West. At the World of Agriculture, some of
the state's top cooks offer up a taste of their creations; craftspeople
also display their wares. A favorite with children is the World
of Animals, where kids and critters can get up close and cuddly.
Kids also love the Carnival Midway, with rides, games of skills,
and old-fashioned fun. Over 1,000 cowboys and cowgirls provide much of the
entertainment at the rodeo, which includes competition in the fields
of bull riding, calf roping, barrel racing, and other sports sanctioned
by the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA). The event also features America's largest junior
livestock show; teens from across Texas exhibit and sell award-winning
cattle, swine, sheep, poultry and horses. The prize is the Grand
Champion and the competition is fierce. Entertainment also comes in the form of live music,
and that includes all types of Texas sounds from Tejano to country
to rock. Performers change every year, but in previous rodeos, top-name
performers have included George Jones, Martina McBride, Brooks and
Dunn, Toby Keith, Alabama, and other well-known names. Every night
includes a live performance. For More Information: • visit www.sarodeo.com |
