STOCKYARd

Be a

COWBOY for

A DAY

A rodeo, some cowboy shopping, a Texas’s hall of fame, a maze adventure, and a cow parade. What else can you wish for? This is how being a cowboy looks like, or at least the closest version.

Fortworth Stockyard is an amazing opportunity to be a real life cowboy. Starting with a Texas’s hall of fame, where many old wagons of Texas past are exhibit in a fun tour. At least there was 30 different types of wagons, all of them with different purposes. There is one for the bakery, another one for the milk, and even for the laundry. It was very interesting how so many wagons were used in those times, and with so many functions. Also, this Hall of Fame has stands of the most famous Texans in the country, such as sport guys, rodeo clowns, and rock stars.

m In the other hand, there is an area dedicated to shopping souvenirs and buying national candy. There is a big candy shop that has a massive combination of candy, an a variety of them, it is so beautiful, you want to cry. Also, one store is about beef jerky of different flavors, and some bugs like ants, grasshopper, crickets, among others.

Many restaurants in that space has the most delicious food in Texas, with an amazing BBQ baby ribs promotion; all you can eat for $15.99. How amazing is that?
