A couple weekends ago, I made a trip to one of my favorite parts of the metroplex - the Fort Worth Stockyards! I've been there a bunch of times, but I always see something new each time. And I also wore my cowboy boots on this trip!The first stop: H3 Steakhouse - right on Exchange (the main drag of the Stockyards). It is connected to the (haunted) Stockyards Hotel, which has a fabulous old west lobby. Below is the centerpiece candle thing - a "brand" of "H3"! Love it!
And they have "Buffalo Butt" beer on tap here (made by the Rahr Brewery - see recent post). I'm not a beer drinker, but I couldn't NOT take a picture of the actual buffalo but on the bar!
And in fabulous Fort Worth fashion, about every third barstool was a saddle!
And you can't go to the Stockyards without seeing a few longhorn......
And before long, it was time for the rodeo at Cowtown Coliseum!
Here's the announcer guy and the clock that will be trying to get to 8.0 seconds while the cowboys try to stay on those horses and bulls!
The rodeo clown!
I love me some cowgirl boots! They are actually very comfortable - much more comfortable than cute heels. And quite honestly, they are the best choice of footwear in the Stockyards because the streets are all cobblestone/brick and you can really do some ankle damage if you are trying to wear pointy heels and then they get caught in the cobblestone....especially if you have had a few adult beverages!
Here's some serious cowboy action - I just LOVE the chaps and hats......
This is the roping part of the rodeo:
Roping competitors waiting for their turn to catch a calf!
And what trip to the Stockyards would be complete without stopping by Billy Bob's?? We went there after the rodeo and Charlie Robison was playing that night - good show.
