I've always wanted to go check it out. My aunt used to barrel race there in the early '80s, but I've never been. Looks like a good time, so I was thinking of checking it out this summer.
Anyone been to Cowtown Rodeo?

I haven't been there since I was a widdle kid. That is the oldest continuously running rodeo in the country.

I have been there. I expected sort of a sleazy, fair-type scene, but was surprised to see a real live, dyed-in-the-wool rodeo. It's fun! I recommend it.
My wife and I attended the rodeo a few years ago. It was one of those things I had wanted to do since I was a boy, but never had. We drive by this place all the time.
So there we were on a Saturday evening. It was beautiful out.
Then it started. It never occurred to us how the bulls were made to buck. When at the rodeo, it is difficult to escape that fact. So we were, I guess, turned off by that.
The atmosphere, however, is nice; there are a lot of families, lots to do, and entertainment.

A fairly regular event for me as a kid. I seem to remember going to
animal auctions. Had Kind of a flea market feel as I recall. Neat then, although nothing I've heard of late would seem my gig anymore.
