Happy Thursday,

After three weeks of Western fun, the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo rides off into the sunset this Saturday. 

I have to give a special shoutout to the Fort Worth Report team for working tirelessly to tell as many stories as we could this rodeo season. We covered everything from pigeon showings to disabled equestrians who compete to renovations at Will Rogers Coliseum. If you didn’t get a chance to read all the stories, check them out here.

If you’re looking for one final stock show event to enjoy, head over to Dickies Arena for the ProRodeo Tournament’s Championship Finals. 

What was your favorite rodeo event this year? Let me know by replying to this email or messaging me at david.moreno@fortworthreport.org.
