Mid-February to early March
The nation's largest livestock show, with more than 35,000 entries, is held in the famous
Astrodome of Houston, Tex.
The show is a reminder of the 19th-century days when Houston's shipping trade was
based on timber, cotton, and cattle.
Things get under way with a downtown parade, and the agenda then includes top celebrity entertainers, pig races, and a chili cookoff.
The 2003 rodeo took place in the new Reliant Stadium, whose construction began in
2000.
