We visited the Fort Worth Stock Yards & Rodeo! Yes, it is touristy, but it is distinctively Texan. Believe it or not there are rodeo’s in Minnesota tucked in between the waterskiing and ice-fishing. But they just can’t compare to the energy and patriotism that is present at the Stockyards rodeo. When Texans stand for the flag, they mean it. It isn’t just something you do because it’s what is done, you can sense the pride and respect for the country and state. I love it here. These are my people.
