It’s rodeo time again and this year “Let’s Rodeo San Antonio” has invited the Blanco Buggy Barn Museum to provide wagons and carriages in the 2015 Heritage Cattle Drive Parade.
This is a big honor for Dennis and Kelley Moore and family, owners, and the 2nd time to provide wagons in this parade that travels two miles down Houston Street to end at the Alamo with 200 head of cattle and longhorns. Special guest and friend, Jerry King, from KKYX Radio, the Legendary Texas Hall of Fame DJ will ride on a nine-foot tall Hitch Wagon. The parade begins promptly at 11 a.m. on February 7, kicking off the start of the 67th Annual San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo which runs February 12 through March 1, at the AT&T Center. The Buggy Barn will have four of its famous wagons/carriages/trolley wagon in the parade with numerous horseback riders as well.
To get you in the western mood, the Buggy Barn Museum will host a chuck wagon BBQ on Saturday, January 31st. There will also be lots of fun activities as well as live music provided by members of The Dry River Band, 5p to 9p, and then DJ Chris Rocks will provide karaoke the rest of the evening. There will be door prizes and a challenging Chicken Foot tournament for all ages. Happenings begin at 5 pm with dinner ready by 6 pm. Come out early, take a wagon ride, visit the many barns to see one of the nation’s largest collection of wagons, carriages and historic relics of time gone by. You don’t want miss the new European exhibit in the main hall.
The best part - ITS’ FREE, however, donations are always welcomed to support the 501 3C Blanco Buggy Barn Museum, which depends on fundraising to continue to provide education and history of our western heritage.
