The Houston Rodeo struck off with a hit on Feb. 25 with the well-known Toby Keith. Rounding in fans from all over Texas, the crowds go wild for the performers and the different cowboys and cowgirls competing in the infamous rodeo. Starting in 1932, the yearly event has grown in popularity and size, partly for the performers but also for the wild food they serve. Anyone can get anything they desire fried like a twinkie, an oreo, or even cookie dough. Also available is anything you could imagine on a stick. Pizza on a stick is a crowd favorite. The many carnival rides provide slow rides for the tamer type and wild rides for reckless people seeking a thrill. The only setback of the Houston Rodeo are the high prices for food and carnival tickets, but most people find the experience is worth it. The rodeo ended featured popular country artists like Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, and Tim McGraw, but also non-country artists like Bruno Mars, Pitbull, and Mary J. Blige. The biggest event occured Mar. 17 with the famous George Strait. Although the Rodeo is now over, there's always next year for anyone who's never been.
