The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo kicked off last week, and what a ride it's been so far! Thousands of visitors flocked to NRG Park to experience the very best of Texas culture and heritage.

Music lovers got a special treat when country music star, Parker McCollum, opened the show. Rodeo fans have been treated to incredible feats of athleticism and courage as the best cowboys and cowgirls compete in various events such as bull riding, steer wrestling, and barrel racing. Carnival rides are filled with family-goers, and the Champion Wine Garden is pouring wine faster than you can say yee-haw! 

And let's not forget the delicious food. As the doors open to NRG Park, the smell of barbecue and funnel cakes fill the air, creating lines so far south, you may forget what the line you’re in.

As we move into the second week of the Rodeo, the excitement only continues to build. With more incredible events, attractions, music, and food to come, the excitement is palpable as people from all walks of life gather to take part in this beloved tradition.
