The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo is one of the premiere
events in San Antonio, celebrating the city’s western heritage and traditions. Funds
raised by the rodeo support Texas youth and educational scholarships, so the
rodeo promotes a great cause in addition to providing a whole lot of fun!
The rodeo begins on Saturday, February 2 at 11 a.m. with a
Western Heritage Parade and Cattle Drive from Christus Santa Rosa Hospital down
Houston Street into the heart of San Antonio. If you want a taste of the Old
West, schedule your time to see some Longhorn cattle being driven through the
city streets of San Antonio. The parade is preceded by a free “Buckaroo
Breakfast” at 9 a.m. for those of you brave collegians able to roll out of the
rack on a Saturday morning.
Actual rodeo competition and entertainment ranges from
February 6-24 with competitions sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys
Association and world class entertainers (including one of my favorites, Toby
Keith)! The tickets are going quickly, so visit www.sarodeo.com to guarantee your seat.
Hope you are able to enjoy the rodeo and hope to see you
soon!
