If somewhere deep down you fancy yourself, as a bit of a cowboy or cowgirl and the Wild, Wild West is your thing… you cannot miss the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.2011 will mark the 115th year of this legendary event, with 23 days jam packed with live rodeo action, world class live stock competitions and exhibitions, live music festivals, awesome local food, shopping, kid friendly activities, a huge carnival and all of this on a massive 4 acres.
A special hospitality suite for International guests and visitors is operated by the organizers to provide them with a central location for information and the chance to meet and get to know other visitors and locals.
Fort Worth is one of the jewels of the Mississippi; it’s the 17th largest city in the USA and welcomes more than 5.5 million visitors a year.
During your visit to Fort Worth make sure you check out the Modern Art Museum, the Cultural District with arts works from Andy Warhol, Remington, Russell and Michelangelo’s very first painting The Torment of Saint Anthony
A visit to this part of the world cannot be complete until you have walked the wooden sidewalks, bought a pair of cowboy boots and blue jeans and had a real Texas BBQ in the Stockyards district.
Or catch the world’s only twice a day cattle drive with giant Texan longhorns storming their way down Exchange Street.
If that’s not enough, saunter into the world’s biggest honkytonk for some pool and two-step lessons.
Forth Worth is Texas’s Number 1 and biggest tourist destination for a reason; it’s the perfect place where you can get the best of both worlds… Cowboys and Culture.
