If you are not a Texas native, here are 4 things to know about the Houston Live Stock and Rodeo. It’s kind of like the Cheese Heads of Wisconsin, a cultural mystery if you are native to the area…Here are four things that I picked-up about the HLSR:
- The Friday before the Parade is “Go Texan Day”- all of Houston is encouraged to dress –up in Western attire.
- Pre-Gun Smoke, the first Rodeo Parade was in 1938 and included a few local political dignitaries on horseback, Mounties and a Drum & Bugle Corp.
- In 1952, the Salt Grass Trail ride was the first trail ride that was formed by only a few men. The following year, the publicity from that ride attracted more people to join.
- The Calf scramble is a popular event where students try capture, harness and bringing calves into the winners’ circle for a prize
