Have you ever seen a real Texas Longhorn Cattle Drive??? I haven't! For those of us who have never had the opportunity to experience one close up and personal - we have that opportunity this weekend - as spectators - my kind of cattle drive!
Just like the "old pioneer" days, cowboys will "drive" a herd of Texas Longhorns right through the heart of San Antonio, where only trails existed 100 years ago. I'd really love to get downtown to see this event.
The Cattle Drive begins at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, January, 31, 2009, cowboys will guide the cattle from Houston Street (from Christus Santa Rosa Hospital/I-35) all the way to The Alamo!
It's a FREE Event, so round up the family and friends and head to downtown San Antonio to enjoy it! Don't forget your camera!!!
I don't think I'll be able to get downtown for the Cattle Drive, so if you go and take pictures, come back to my post and post your pictures to share with everyone!!!
For more information about the Cattle Drive call 210-225-5851.

Here's a little history about the Livestock Show & Rodeo...
In the 1940's, after years of San Antonio not having sufficient or adequate facilities to host the many fairs and expositions being held in the city; Mr. Joe Freeman began organizing volunteers to raise money to build a "multi-purpose coliseum" to hold the many fairs, expositions and specifically a livestock exposition for the Youth of Texas. In January of 1948 construction of the Joe and Harry Freeman Coliseum began - it was completed in September of the same year and was opened to the public.
The first Annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo was held on February 17, 1950 at the Coliseum and was held there every year until February of 2003, when the Livestock Show & Rodeo was moved to the newly built, state of the art SBC Center located right next door.
In 1984, the San Antonio Livestock Exposition Executive Committee (SALE) began to think about encouraging 4-H and FFA high school students interested in the agricultural industry to major in agricultural-related studies in college. In 1984, they started the SALE Scholarship Fund awarding 15, four-year scholarships to students entering Texas colleges in the fall of the same year. To date, the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo's commitment to education exceeds over $87 million. In 2008, $8.5 million was committed in the form of scholarships, grants, endowments, auction, calf scramble program and show premiums paid to youth.
Many hours of hard work by committed SALE volunteers make the San Antonio Livestock Show & Rodeo one of the largest and most prestigious events in the city with over 1 million visitors entering the grounds each year.
The dates of this year's Livestock Show & Rodeo are February 5 through Feb. 22, 2009. There are some events going on already - in preparation for the Livestock Show & Rodeo.
The Texas Longhorn Cattle Drive will be held on Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. You'll feel like you went back 100 years to the days when the streets of San Antonio were only trails. Cowboys will guide a herd of Texas Longhorns right through the heart of San Antonio (down Houston Street from Christus Santa Rosa Hospital /I-35 to the Alamo!!! This is a free event - bring the family and don't forget your camera. For more information call 210-225-5851. See you there!!!
