During rodeo week, hold on tight
Whether it involves lining up early for a good spot along the parade route, or attending every day of roping, wrangling and clowning, Star readers suggest jumping into the long rodeo weekend in late February both boots first.
Many parade watchers arrive before sun-up — even the night before — to stake out spots along South Park Avenue. After Thursday’s parade, the Rodeo Grounds come alive with competitions featuring some of the pro circuit’s best steer wrestlers and calf ropers. La Fiesta de los Vaqueros is crackling good entertainment, and to some old-timers still the city’s most important event.
