FORT WORTH, Texas (RFD NEWS) — The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo is just days away from getting underway, bringing one of the nation’s longest-running celebrations of Western heritage back to North Texas. Founded in 1896, the event showcases livestock competitions, live music, Western sports, and family-friendly entertainment during its 23-day run.
Matt Brockman, communications director for the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to preview what attendees can expect from this year’s event.
In his interview with RFD NEWS, Brockman highlighted the event’s top attractions and experiences, as well as the wide range of family-friendly activities and exhibits designed to engage attendees of all ages. He also provided an overview of the livestock classes and the number of exhibitors expected to compete this year, underscoring the event’s deep agricultural roots.
Finally, he shared what he hopes visitors take away after three weeks of events, emphasizing the show’s commitment to celebrating the Western lifestyle.
In Minnesota, a legal and legislative battle has reached a tipping point. For over a decade, the state’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the private deer-farming industry have been locked in a dispute over the management of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).
