Daily rodeo action is, of course, a big part of this 120th annual show, but there's a whole lot more to it. Animal exhibits, a petting zoo, a 6-acre carnival midway with rides and games, fair foods, commercial exhibits, an art contest and vendors will quickly fill up your day. Then there are performances on the Coors Light Roadhouse and Stage: Jason Boland and the Stragglers on Jan. 22, Luke Wade on Jan. 26 and Cory Morrow on Jan. 27, just to name a few.
Through Feb. 6 at Will Rogers Memorial Center, 3401 W. Lancaster Ave., Fort Worth. fwssr.com.
