Houston Street Two- Step to kick off annual Rodeo events
The following is a press release from the City of San Antonio:
“Houston Street Two- Step” to kick off annual Rodeo events
As San Antonio gears up for the annual Stock Show and Rodeo, the City invites you to mosey downtown for the “Houston Street Two-Step” this Saturday, January 30 from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. This free event is open to the public.
The “Houston Street Two-Step” will take place on Houston Street from Christus Santa Rosa Hospital to the Alamo. The festivities will kick off at 11:00 a.m. with cowboys on horseback guiding an impressive herd of Texas Longhorns down Houston Street. The Cattle Drive will start at IH-35 and Houston Street and travel east to the Alamo.
Following the Cattle Drive, participants can take part in the first-ever “Houston Street Stroll.” Participants will have the opportunity to pick up a “passport” to stroll along Houston Street partaking in special discounts and offers from local merchants and restaurants. Upon visiting a participating establishment, strollers will receive a stamp on their passport. Once strollers fill their passports, they will be eligible for door prize drawings at the end of the event. The first 100 participants to turn in their completed passports will receive free ground tickets to the 2010 San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.
In addition to the Stroll, there will be western-themed activities such as chuck wagon cooking, barrel racing, musical entertainment and additional activities for all ages.
For more information on the Houston Street Two-Step, call 324-9433 or visit www.sanantonio.gov.
