Katy Rodeo & Livestock Show 2011!

This is my favorite time of the year to be a Texan, rodeo season! I almost always go to the over commercialized Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, but it seems to be put on mostly for the rhinestone cowboys. Being somewhat of a rhinestone cowgirl myself I realize the contradiction in liking the local Katy Rodeo. There is no “concert” portion and you actually get to enjoy seeing local cowboys & cowgirls compete. My nephew will be competing in the stick horse race tonight! The tickets are very reasonable as well. This year, adults are $8 or $18 for a 3 day pass; kids are $4 ages 6-12 or $8 for a 3 day pass. Children under 5 are free!

There is also a professional section of the rodeo for those who feel it isn’t a rodeo if a bone isn’t broken. All the events last just a little longer and you may actually see some events at the Katy Rodeo that you won’t see at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. It’s definitely more of a small town feel, cold, hard metal bleachers and all!

This morning we enjoyed the Katy Rodeo Parade through old town Katy and we now have a 2 lbs bag of candy as a result! It would have been three but we ate a good portion for lunch, ugh.
