Vertigo58 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 A dreaded time for many longtime Houston born/raised citizens. All the fake cowboy and gals emerge ie; designer jeans, boots, 10 gallon hats. When it blows over all the garb goes to storage? Donate it people. Yeahahhh! I best go back to choppin cotton & bailing hay y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misplaced txgirl Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I worked for Stelzig's in the 70's when it was still on Preston and Louisiana...you could always tell when it was "rodeo time" by all the wannabees coming into the store for their "rodeo get-ups"... some of the outfits people bought to make them "Go Texan"... you could always tell the real from fake if they had "poop" on their boots and weren't hollerin' about it.

HarrisCountyEx Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I remember when the schools would let out for Go Texan Day so that you could go downtown to watch the parade. Houston's equivalent to Louisana's Mardi Gras week maybe? I had a little clip on bow tie thing that had GO on one ribbon and TEXAN on the other. Fun times.

Fun times.A coworker was just telling me about the school closing for the rodeo way back when. He went to Catholic school, though, so he didn't get the day off and had to watch the trail riders go by from his classroom window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul1956 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I haven't been able to attend the rodeo for several years. One thing I remember is that monkey riding the dog around the ring. They still do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
