I’ve always been fascinated with the Rodeo and its almost time for the Fort Worth Stock Show and the Rodeo to come to Fort Worth. We’ve always gone to the Fort Worth Stock Show to walk around but I would like to go to the Rodeo to see the Bull Riding. Would you want to come with us?
I thought I would create a new Lesson Plan featuring Lane Frost a Cowboy who lost his life in Cheyne. Did you know Garth Brooks write a song called the Beaches of Cheyenne but also The Dance which your children can listen to in there Music Class. If they like Rodeo Clowns then they shoulld listen to Bambi The Rodeo Clown by Mo Bandy one of my all time favorite Country Music Singers.
