Adventures at the Houston Rodeo with Andeana Hats

We finally made it over to Texas with Andeana Hats! We know Houston knows a good hat, so we made sure to bring all of our best-sellers to our pop-up that we had at the Trailblazer's Luncheon. It was our first time here, so we mostly just scouted around, enjoyed the rodeo, met amazing people and even made it on the local channel 2 news. We promise the next time we're in town, we'll host a pop-up open to the public where we can get to know everyone better. Let's take a look at our adventures in Houston!

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, commonly known as the Houston Rodeo, is one of the largest and most prestigious livestock exhibitions and rodeo events in the world. It's held annually in Houston, Texas, typically spanning about three weeks from late February to early March. The event has a rich history that dates back to 1932, showcasing Texas's agricultural, livestock, and Western heritage.

The Houston Rodeo features a wide array of activities and attractions, including:

Rodeo Competitions: Professional cowboys and cowgirls compete in traditional rodeo events such as bull riding, barrel racing, team roping, and more, vying for top honors and prize money.

Livestock Show: Exhibitors from across the nation bring various types of livestock and other animals to compete in different categories. It's an educational opportunity for the public to learn about agricultural practices.

Concerts: Each night, the rodeo is followed by a concert featuring top artists from various genres, including country, pop, rock, and Latin music, attracting massive audiences.

Carnival: The event includes a large carnival with rides, games, and food, offering fun for all ages.
