The Coors Light Road House has a long list of entertainers scheduled who will be in concert.
Forth Worth Stock Show and Rodeo History
The FWSSR began in 1896 when ranchers brought their cattle to auction. Representatives of meat-packing houses arrived to choose prime beef. In 1917, the show included cowboy riding contests. One year later, rodeo events included cowboy and cowgirl bronc riding along with adult and junior steer riding. Since Western sporting events increased attendance at the show, sponsors began increasing the number of rodeo events. By 1920, bull riding was added to the rodeo lineup. Bareback-bronc riding was added in 1927.
In 1932, NBC was the first radio station to broadcast the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. NBC was also the first television network to broadcast the Texas sporting event on live television in 1958. That year, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans and other notable Western stars made an appearance. Today, the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo generates millions of dollars in revenue. Much of which is given as grants and scholarships.
