But that classic line from that song\u2014\u201cSpent 48 dollars (1995) at the county fair, I threw out my shoulder, but I won that teddy bear\u201d? Inflation\u2019s turned that into about $102\u2013$103 today according to U.S. CPI data. <\/p>\n

Listening to you: You won\u2019t have to pay that much if you have good aim! C Dennis wrote after watching the video. However, according to the folks at Reader\u2019s Digest the probability of winning on the first try is typically very low- often 1-10% or less per attempt.<\/p>\n

From teddy bears to the rodeo: What\u2019s the price?<\/p>\n
A family of 4 can easily drop $70\u2013$100 to get in the gates. I was actually curious how much admission was when the rodeo first opened, and I came across a KPRC article from 2022 that says in 1932 the first show, held in Sam Houston Hall, lured some 2,000 attendees with free barbecue and impromptu rough-and-ready rodeos. However, the week-long event lost $2,800. Fast forward to 2025, and the rodeo set an all-time high for attendance: 2,735,695, generating $238,769,069 in operating revenue.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re tracking a real shot at record-breaking highs today. The current record is 87 in 1907. But hold onto those cowboy hats – wind gusts are expected to ramp up to 15-20 mph this afternoon into the evening.<\/p>\n

Why? A heat dome over the West is pushing this record heat our way\u2014spots near Phoenix hit 105\u2013109 yesterday, shattering March records, with more heat on the way today for them and us!<\/p>\n
Heat Dome is heating us up!! (Copyright 2025 by KPRC Click2Houston – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n
And an easy way to understand a heat dome is to think about a pot on your stove in your kitchen:<\/p>\n
WATCH: Why A HEAT dome feels like a pot boiling under a lid. \ud83e\udd75<\/p>\n
1. The pot is like the Earth\u2019s surface: A heat dome acts like a lid, trapping the hot air beneath it.<\/p>\n
2. Trapped heat can\u2019t escape: Just as a lid prevents steam from rising out of the pot, the heat dome blocks the hot air from rising or cooling off.<\/p>\n
3. No cooling down: Normally, hot air rises, or winds bring cooler air to regulate temperatures. But the heat dome stops the process, like a pot left on the stove with no way to cool down. Under this \u201cpot,\u201d it gets really hot and stays hot, causing a heatwave<\/p>\n
So what does that mean for us this week?<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll be above average,75, for the next 5 days. We\u2019ll continue to track the chance for record-breaking heat today and above average temperatures this week and no real chance for rain.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca7So don\u2019t forget to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! And as Mario Diaz said today at the end of the 6 a.m. newscast\u2014\u201cAlways stay humble and kind\u201d\u2014and I agree: \u201cWhen the dreams you\u2019re dreamin\u2019 come to you, when the work you put in is realized, let yourself feel the pride but always stay humble and kind.\u201d<\/p>\n
And if you\u2019re still reading – thank you for your trust and your time! Enjoy the rodeo today.<\/p>\n
