This annual two-week stock show and rodeo, held in the Will Rogers Memorial Center, has served as a great expression of civic pride since its inception in 1896. More than 21,000 head of livestock, including goats, cows, llamas and pigeons, are displayed for prizes each year. Rodeo events, first introduced in 1918, now draw cowboys from all over the South to compete for prizes, which can go as high as USD15,000. A dazzling midway with rides and games, a venue for cowboy poetry and a downtown parade are also included in the festivities. Parking can be difficult to find during the stock show, but park-and-ride shuttles are available throughout the city during the event.
Admission: Adults USD8; Children (6-16) USD4; Children (Under 6) Free.
