Horse shows, petting zoos, bull riding,calf scrambles and country music stars all in one place? Sounds too good to be true - but it's not! The rodeo is a proud Texas tradition filled with fried foods on sticks, cowboy hats, carnival games, and livestock everywhere. If your visit falls during rodeo season, this is the truest version of Texas you'll see!
