Hold onto your hats! It is going to

Travis County Expo Center during the Star of
Texas Rodeo. Enjoy the fourth largest indoor
rodeo in the world. Watch bronco busting, roping, barrel racing,
steer wrestling, and those brave rodeo clowns. This is a ProRodeo
All Star Series event so plan on watching some of the top
performers in the world enjoying the official sport of Texas.
Lunch is on your own at the Midway before the rodeo begins at
3 p.m. Refreshments are available during the event as well. If
you have never had the chance to saddle up, jump on board and
ride on down to the rodeo.
After the rodeo is over, we will stay in our seats to enjoy a concert
sure to delight us all. At the time of this publication, the artists
had not been announced publicly. There is always a well-known
performer that you will be sure to recognize!
NOTE: This is a large venue that will require lots of
walking, steps, and a sense of adventure.

concert (reserved south side seats).

Sherwood Forest Faire – McDade, TX - NEW!

Lunch on your own
Sunday, Apr. 2, $38 pp
Depart SCPL 10 a.m.; return 5 p.m.

Deep in the forest, a mystical, magical
gathering has begun. Robin Hood and his band
of merry men, along with creatures of the woods
– faeries, elves, and goblins are planning a
celebration of springtime.
We will travel to McDade (east of Elgin) to this renowned
Renaissance Festival where you shall encounter swashbuckling
pirates, knights in shining armor, and damsels in distress along
with tinkers, jesters, and beggars. The forest stages will entertain
with music, magic and storytelling while tradesmen of the shire
will offer unique pieces of clothing, jewelry, weaponry, leather and
wood crafts for the buying. Food and drink stalls will beckon
with tempting morsels of sweets, savory roasted meats, frothy
ales and fruity wines. If you are the sporting type, you will
want to check out the full-contact jousting, hand-to-hand combat
tournaments, archery, sword fighting, and falconry.
Step into this living fairytale and lose your cares for a day.
