Celebrating Houston Rodeo
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is happening (Feb.28th-March18th) here in Houston, Texas! In celebration of this annual event, fashion blogger Lynne Gabriel (lynnegabriel.com) and accessory shop Charming Charlie (charmingcharlie.com) hosted a Rodeo prize giveaway. I was honored to be chosen as the grand prize winner of that amazing giveaway! A big thank you shoutout to both Lynne and Charming Charlie!

A sampling of my prizes :)

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is dedicated to benefiting youth, supporting education, and facilitating better agricultural practices through exhibitions and presentation. Since 1932, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has committed approximately $283 million to the youth of Texas. This charitable organization, supported by 26,000 volunteers, is the world's largest livestock show and richest regular-season rodeo. More than 350 entertainers from nearly all genres of music have perfomed at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. For tickets and more information, visit rodeohouston.com.

This year's entertainers include: Alabama, Kid Rock, Lady Antebellum, John Legend, Blake Shelton, ZZ Top, Reba, Miranda Lambert, Train, and Brad Paisley. Every year is a star-studded list of entertainers in addition to the actual livestock show and rodeo events, cattle auctions, bull riding, BBQ cookoff, wine tasting competitions, carnivals, a parade...the list goes on and on!
