Rodeo Austin and Josh Turner Concert

Growing up in Wisconsin, I had never been to a rodeo. Truck and tractor pulls are much bigger up there, and I have been to plenty of those. Victoria wanted to change this, so she bought tickets to the Austin rodeo. We hit the road and headed to the rodeo.

Two-lane highway approaching Austin with clear blue skies, utility poles lining the road, and sparse development visible in the distance

We even got behind this sketchy mechanic as we got close to the parking.

We pulled in and then parked a ways away from the rodeo itself. It was a bit of a walk to get inside the rodeo.

Large 'RODEO AUSTIN' entrance archway with red lettering spanning across the road leading to rodeo grounds parking area Multi-lane approach road to Rodeo Austin with construction cones, decorative windmill, ferris wheel visible in background, and various rodeo facilities Rodeo Austin parking lot with prominent decorative windmill structure, parked vehicles, and open grass fields under partly cloudy skies Bright red decorative miniature train display labeled 'RODEO' and 'RAILROAD' in parking lot with modern buildings in background Crowded Rodeo Austin parking lot filled with vehicles, ferris wheel and rodeo facilities visible on horizon Rodeo Austin flags flying above race track with safety barriers, expansive grounds and clear blue sky with scattered clouds Rodeo Austin entrance walkway with fencing, multiple Texas state flags, crowds of visitors, and 'RODEO AUSTIN' archway visible ahead Close-up view of Rodeo Austin entrance gate featuring white metal archway structure with rodeo logo, Texas flags, and 'TEXAS' text on vertical column Front view of Rodeo Austin entrance gate with circular logo featuring red bull, white metal framework, and crowds entering beneath Chain-link fenced walkway leading into Rodeo Austin grounds with ferris wheel, Texas flags, and visitors walking toward carnival area Wide walkway between chain-link fences showing multiple Texas state flags, ferris wheel, and visitors approaching rodeo entrance Three Texas state flags waving prominently against bright blue sky with ferris wheel visible in background at Rodeo Austin View of Rodeo Austin fairgrounds showing ferris wheel, carnival rides, colorful attractions, main building, and crowds of visitors Ferris wheel and main Rodeo Austin building with red trim, showing carnival area, parking lot, and 'NO ENTRY!

After walking in, we checked out the carnival and other things on display. In many ways, it was just like a fair with the rodeo being the main event.

One awesome thing that HEB is doing is a thing called "Taste of Texas." This is where local vendors show off their products. They are hoping to get them on the shelves of HEB. Being that I am a huge proponent of this, I decided to check out what was offered.

Large red roadside sign reading 'Rodeo Austin Taste of Texas Presented By H-E-B' with red vendor tents visible below Entrance to white tent pavilion featuring horizontal wooden slat privacy walls and black metal handrails on steps Interior of Taste of Texas pavilion showing wooden partition walls, vendor service counters, and staff preparing for visitors Vendor demonstration with hands cutting beef jerky on wooden cutting board, hot sauce bottles, and El Norteño branded materials visible Red promotional banner for 'El Norteño MEXICAN-STYLE BEEF JERKY' featuring illustration of cowboy with gun and 'Carne Con Syafmmma' text Package of El Norteño Mexican-Style Beef Jerky Cecina Original flavor showing 24g protein, 0g sugar, cowboy logo, and 1.5oz net weight Multiple red packages of El Norteño beef jerky arranged on wooden display counter with El Norteño logo stickers Tough Love Nutrition vendor booth from Pflugerville with Texas flag backdrop, sampling bottles of Steept Health Shots arranged on black tablecloth display Female vendor in white shirt behind display of Tough Love Nutrition Steept Health Shots bottles, with Pflugerville Texas signage and promotional materials Female vendor gesturing while presenting Tough Love Nutrition products, multiple bottles of Steept Health Shots displayed on wooden stand with black cloth Vendor display table with black tablecloth featuring fresh vegetables including ginger roots, jalapeños, small tasting bowls, and framed Tough Mother promotional sign Two Tough Love Nutrition representatives in white branded shirts engaging with customers at booth displaying Steept Health Shots bottles behind wooden partition walls 2 BQ'd vendor booth from Cedar Park with Texas flag backdrop, wooden counter displaying multiple bottles of BBQ sauce for sampling, open-air pavilion setting Fried food samples on black serving tray with blue bowl of white dipping sauce and Afia brand product package on wooden table surface Afia Mediterranean food company banner with decorative tile pattern, social media icons, website information, and metal shelving with equipment below

I was especially intrigued by the El Norteno jerky. Instead of being smoked, it is air dried. It is packaged with hot sauce. The packaging contains the member of a conjunto band. I even found they have some roots in Wisconsin.

All the walking made us hungry. We stopped by a food vendor. I always get a corndog at the fair, so this was no different. Victoria got some fries to munch on.

There was still some time to kill before the gates opened for the rodeo. We had done a lot of walking and it was hot. We decided to sit down until the gates opened. After the gates opened, we did a little wandering until we finally found our seats.

The lights got dim for a little bit and then came the National Anthem. After that, everything started. This was definitely a sight to watch!

After the rodeo is done, there is a concert. For the rodeo I went to, it was Josh Turner. After the animals are all gone, they pull in a stage. Eventually, the performer is brought in on a truck and performs on a spinning stage. They then leave on that same truck.

When the concert was done Victoria and I walked around a little bit more to see the carnival all lit up.

In many ways, it was good we parked a ways away. The traffic was horrible leaving. We still ended up having to sit for a while.

Now I can say I've been to my first rodeo! I can officially say the next rodeo I go to, "Ain't my first rodeo." It was a cool experience overall! I got to see the fair portion of it and discover some awesome local products. The rodeo itself was something different than the truck and tractor pulls I'm used to. I can see where it takes a ton of skill to do what those guys do!

The concert was also pretty awesome. Josh Turner was great live! Some bands there's a definite difference between studio and live. With Josh Turner, I did not notice much of a difference. He pretty much nailed it, and it was good hearing some of his songs that I haven't heard in a while.

Being that I live in Texas, I'm sure there's plenty more rodeos around. If I see another one, I might have to check it out. I'm sure there will be plenty of new things to discover!
