Show and Rodeo

You can always count on a bad winter storm and freezing temperatures, at least part of the time, for the annual Ft. Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. This year's event begins with the annual Stock Show Parade, in Downtown Ft. Worth, on Saturday, January 16th, at 11:00 a.m. It's the opportunity for Hopkins County residents to "pull on" a pair of boots, enjoy the sites at the Stock Show and take a tour of the historic Ft. Worth Stockyards, where a number of eating venues, shopping, and Billy Bob's Texas offers a fun day of western entertainment. This year's Stock Show runs through February 7th.

Go to www.ftworthstockshow.com and get a daily schedule of the many, many events that are offered.

 

 

 

Youth from Hopkins County will be showing market animals, breeding beef cattle and dairy cattle at this year's event. The open dairy show will be conducted on Monday, January 18th, with the Junior Dairy Show unfolding on Tuesday, January 19th.

 

 

 

 

Ranch Rodeos will be conducted in the Coliseum, in the Stockyards, beginning on Friday, January 15th.
