2010 Cattle Drive and Houston Street Two-Step
Join us as we celebrate our
proud Texas heritage, downtown San Antonio, and help kick off the San Antonio Stock Show and
Rodeo at the “Houston Street Two-Step” on January 30, 2010 from 11 a.m. to 5
p.m.

The Houston Street Two-Step features the Cattle Drive parade as the first-step and a Houston Street Stroll as the second step. Just like the drovers years ago, cowboys will guide an impressive herd of Texas Longhorns down Houston Street, where only a trail existed 150 years ago.
After the fun-filled parade, the festivities continue with the first-ever “Houston Street Stroll.” Parade guests will be invited to pick up a passport and participate in a “stroll” along Houston Street, between the RiverWalk and Alamo Street, where local restaurants and shops will open their doors with special offers.
Upon visiting a participating establishment, the traveler will receive a stamp on their passport. Once travelers fill their passport with stamps, they can use it as an entry to win fabulous door-prizes from the participating businesses.
The first 100 completed passports to be returned will receive free rodeo grounds tickets to the 2010 San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.
Fun and games for kids of all ages will also be offered at over ten different locations along Houston Street, including authentic cowboys cooking from their chuck wagon over an open fire, barrel racing, musical entertainment and more.
Participating businesses include:
Special
thanks to Downtown Alliance, Federal Realty, Reata, The City of San Antonio
Downtown Operation's Department, Bromley Communications, Zurich Properties International and the
Buckhorn Saloon and Museum for serving on the planning committee, and
to Bromley Communications for the design.
