The 93rd annual La Fiesta de los Vaqueros kicks off it's final weekend and it's expected to be filled with lots of family fun. 

More than 90 year ago, the event began with just a few days, but has since expanded to nine days. Rodeo organizers believe Saturday and Sunday are expect to be the biggest and busiest days. They are expecting more than seven thousand people each day during the weekend., with Sunday being the busiest, with a close to a sell out crowd.  to see the top 15 come back and watch compete is great feeling. To me I almost feel like this is the real weekend, I know its not at al but its cool place to be.Get the best seat you can
