Ft.Worth Stockyards

We spent our day at the Ft.Worth Stockyards and we had a ball.  In the book they are described as the historic part of livestock industry of Texas and I can show you better than describe it but Ill start by explaining that it is like being in a western town, brick roads and people on horses too.  Okay here goes:

Main Street...lots of shopping, steak houses, etc.

This statue is outside the colliseum, where rodeo's are held each Friday night.  The colliseum was built in 88 days back in 1907.  On one end of the colliseum is a Rodeo Hall Of Fame Wall !

This was sooooo cool.  Made out of iron and I took pictures of the boots but on the top they had cowboy hats hanging.  Very clever and photo worthy !

They just let us roam around the colliseum and Hall of Fame without charge or escort.  My kind of tour !


Billy Bob's is the largest honky tonk in Texas and a hip-hoppin place on Friday Night.  It includes an indoor rodeo too and this is where a lot of big name country singers perform.
We were there at 4PM so we got to see the Cattle Drive.  Joe took these pictures !


We topped our day of at Catleman's Steak House with a BIG OLE STEAK !  xxoo TML
