Getting ready for Houston Rodeo season

We're just days away from the beginning of this year's Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Many of those participating will be wearing some new cowboy boots. FOX 26 Photojournalist Darlene Janik-Faires caught up with folks at "Cavender's Boot City" that's helping people get "Rodeo Ready."

HOUSTON - Are you ready for the rodeo? Put on your cowboy hat and your boots because it's Go Texan Day!

The annual Go Texan Day serves as the unofficial kickoff to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

How do you celebrate Go Texan Day?

On Go Texan Day, Houstonians dress up in traditional Western attire as a way to celebrate the state's rich Western heritage. People wear cowboy hats, boots, jeans and other Western clothing.

The event is not only a fun way for Texans to showcase their Western pride but also serves as a prelude to the festivities and events that take place during the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
