The Houston Livestock and Rodeo is notorious for its country music, live farm animals, and shows involving animals and people together! But why is the carnival section so popular? The thing about the HLSR is that it doesn’t have to be for just country people. There are so many people who enjoy rides. The carnival consists of a variety of rides big and small that fits for everybody. There are over 20 rides to get on and enjoy!

Even if you are not a big ride person, the carnival is also popular for its food that it offers. In fact, there are award-winning carnival dishes such as Biggy’s, “Spicy Turkey Leg”, Saltgrass Steakhouse, “Chicken & Ribs”, and Ranch House Meat Co,. “Bar-B-Q Plate”.  And there are also snacks if you are not feeling a big meal. There are the infamous deep fried oreos, funnel cake, and much more!

The carnival is a great opportunity to get friends and family together and have some good quality time. So get your boots and buckles out from the closest and rock ’em! Yeehaw!
