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.

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?

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