While such groups as the Papa John’s Pizza Road Team, Earnhardt Auto Centers, and Ak-Chin Indian Community will be giving fans plenty of great looks at the rodeo, the Cowboy Lifestyle Network will also be offering its one-of-a-kind coverage of the event.

Come One, Come All

For fans young and old in Houston, Texas, the Houston Livestock Show is a must-see event. Whether it’s watching a big, bad bull try to throw off one rider after another, or being thrilled at the skills of team roping, there’s no doubt this Houston Rodeo is something special. Between the great music, rodeo action, and charitable organizations such as 4-H that benefit from this event each year, there’s no better place to be than at NRG Stadium watching the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Peter Varlet

Peter Varlet’s the cowboy critic you love to hate, until he’s right. Born during a thunderstorm in 1972 in Bismarck, North Dakota, he grew up watching his WWII vet dad battle to save their farm from corporate claws. Now, Peter’s the unapologetic voice of Western culture, with a historian’s grip on America’s past, acknowledging both its heroes and hypocrites. His truth to power articles are a no-holds-barred zone for rodeo reviews, cowboy movie takedowns, and ranching tricks that work. He’ll tell you why your country singer’s a fraud and how to fix a fence with only baling wire and spite. Peter despises corporate factory farms taking over and cherishes the DIY grit of real Americans. Politically correct? Nope. Trustworthy? Damn straight. He’s saving the West, one brutal truth at a time.
