Yes. It’s kind of a big deal here in Houston. Biggest rodeo in America. Notice I didn’t say North America. It’s a massive money making event. Schools do rodeo art. Do rodeo themed things. Big name artists play. Elvis even played it back in the day. The actual rodeo is a fun event. It’s more about carnival and music in my opinion. Lastly people love to do the trail ride. I think it’s a week commitment to ride from Point A to the actual rodeo. I forget where point A is.

I actually liked the livestock show part of the Houston Rodeo more than the rides. There are so many different breeds of rabbits.

I learned sometime before covid that there's a breed of rabbit that can't even hop. Can you imagine?
morningsdaughter t1_j9pkttd wrote
They can hop, they just can't go fast or very far.

Good call, because Taxes known for “Everything is bigger in Taxes” ⭐️ State

No State tax means definitively not bigger.

By what metric? I find this debate fascinating.

Houston’s is the biggest LIVESTOCK SHOW and Rodeo combo. But there are bigger rodeos without livestock shows.

I didn't expected that the Texans would prepare this hard for the next state power outage. That's some enthusiasm.

I was late to work once because of traffic delays caused by trail riders like this coming in for the rodeo. I got to work and agreed with my boss, “Only in Houston”….

This is the HLSR trail ride. One of my former coworkers used to ride with his team every year.
HesalitesStuckRod t1_j9md19z wrote
A "trail ride" on the highway almost perfectly explains Texans. They love the Country Western look, but they can't go without their city comforts. Betting half those wagons have some form of AC in them.
SweetCosmicPope t1_j9mdgat wrote
Yeah, it's a little silly, but it's a long-running tradition. I can't speak for the others but my coworker used to sleep on a stack of hay in his trailer. lol
flippythemaster t1_j9mviq8 wrote
In fairness, it's not like much of Texas is wilderness anymore. The highway is probably the only way that you can go such a distance without running into things like property line fences (and people angry that you're trespassing on their land).
Also, people are allowed to dress up and have fun, whether it's your thing or not.
_Gandalf_the_Ghey_ t1_j9paydo wrote
Do you think there's wagon trails running through Houston? Do you criticize any other culture's traditions that are partially celebrated on a now-paved surface?
Jomskylark t1_j9q4rz8 wrote
Kind of a weird criticism. They can still do their cosplay and bond with friends while not having to suffer under the Texas sun just to be realistic.

Just the Houston Rodeo. Largest Rodeo in the world.
twowaysplit t1_j9mueko wrote
Largest Indoor rodeo. Calgary is bigger, according to the biggest rodeo fan I know.
that_crazy_tall_kid t1_ja9pk34 wrote
Its a debated topic. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo go on for longer, has more attendees, and is a bigger event overall. Calgary Stampede has more people on avg per day, is exclusively a rodeo and typically has the largest total purse winnings.
they are both an absolute blast though.

They really are. Pretty sure they send a guy with a weed-eater round to tidy up the grass around the signs from time-to-time so people won't miss the giant lettering offering driving lessons... from their car.

This is for the Houston rodeo, which is kind of like a state fair but for the Houston area. It's also an opportunity for city people to cosplay as cowboys while listening to Bun B and eating banh mi.
