    Hey, y’all. 👋 City Editor Kate, here. I hit up the legendary Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo this weekend to start crossing some boxes off my bingo board.

    As someone who has been to the FWSSR many-a-time, I’m always delighted to find something new. This year, it was the Donkey and Mule Coon Hunters Jumping competition at the John Justin Arena. (I didn’t realized that donkeys jumped...)

    I had a great time watching Radar, a 33-year-old appaloosa mule from Henley, Missouri and champion jumper, win gold.

    I made a pretty good dent in my Bingo board, but I’m not finished yet. Lucky for me — and anyone who wants to join our game — the FWSSR is going on through Saturday, Feb. 4.

    Download your Bingo board and see what new events, activities, and treats you discover this year.
