 Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Woodruff and welcome to the Fort Report. The Fort Worth Stock Show in Rodeo kicks off January 17th, 23 days of pure Western fun. It's a Fort Worth tradition for show regulars and new visitors. We have everything from Rodeo action to live stock shows to a carnival in Midway, plenty of great shopping, so there's truly something for everyone here at the Stock Show. Always a highlight is the All Western Parade, which is at 11 a.m. on January 18th this year. We'll have probably over 200 floats that will be in the parade and the neat thing about the Stock Show Parade is it's all Western. There are no motors going through the Stock Show Parade. Of course the parade is always free to the general public. You can come and sit on the curb and have a great time, but last year we started a program where we have a reserved seating area and the great thing about those tickets is if you purchase a seat it gives you a reserved seat in a great area for the parade but it also serves as a one day general admission to come to the Stock Show any day of the Stock Show during that 23 day run. This year's biggest new thing is the event called Fort Worth Super Shoutout. It's a team concept Rodeo, but the Stock Show is not just about Rodeo. One of the missions is obviously education and to help the current generation understand a little bit more about agriculture and how it's so vital to our everyday lives. So there's all kinds of stocks here at the Stock Show, little educational exhibits and things, very hands on so it's real fun for the kids. Don't forget to download the Stock Show's phone app. It'll be a great help to get organized. It's got parking information which is extremely helpful on the weekends. It'll have a GPS ground map built into it so when you're on the property this place can be a little overwhelming at times. Just trying to figure out how to gauge your day and what all stops you want to make. The complete daily event list is in there but you can make your own counters like I don't want to miss this on this one particular day and kind of go down the line.
