Each year, Houstonians eagerly await the announcement of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ entertainer lineup. When the media carry the Show's list of stars as a lead story the city buzzes with excitement as fans decide which performances to attend.
What can be learned from looking at a hen’s legs? Is it possible
to examine the inside of an egg without breaking it? The
answers to these questions and many others can be found at
the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ 4-H and FFA Poultry Judging
Contest, which is held in Reliant Center during the Show.
The Houston Livestock
Show and Rodeo™
rolled out the red carpet
to welcome military officers
representing all branches of the
U.S. Armed Forces during the
Show’s Armed Forces Salute
March 3, 2005. This special
tribute allowed Houstonians to
express a Texas-sized dose of
heartfelt emotion and solemn
appreciation to the uniformed
men and women who have
dedicated their lives to
protecting American values
and freedom around the globe.
Imagine sitting on a fence rail alongside a half dozen ranch hands as the dusty,
hot wind is blowing. Although scared, everyone is itching to get on that saddle
and ride that wild horse longer and with more flair than everyone else.
The one who holds on with the most style garners the greatest respect.
The World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest helps
kick off the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™
each year, with contestants cooking up thousands
of pounds of delicious barbecue and side dishes. The
event, which draws approximately 150,000 guests over
the Thursday, Friday and Saturday preceding the Show,
features more than 300 competitive cooking teams and
covers everything from chicken to brisket. It is home to
big grills, big talent and some very big hearts.
Here we go again. Time to saddle up and prepare for the
arrival of the world’s largest livestock show and rodeo.
The 2006 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ has
lots to offer. Here is a preview of what’s to come…
The Main Corral Club, located on the second floor of Reliant Center,
features live music during the Show on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights after the Rodeo performances.
For the second year in a row, The Hideout will be
housed on the floor of the Reliant Astrodome,
and it will be the place to go for “Dancin’ in the
Dome.”
