Residents of Fort Worth are
polishing their cowboy boots and
brushing their 10-gallon hats in
preparation for the town’s big-
gest annual celebration, the
Southwestern Exposition and Fat

The Stock Show, famed as the
nation’s oldest major livestock ex-
position, will begin its 10-day
run Friday, Jan. 30, with a down-
town parade at 2 p.m. led by state
and show officials.
Dale Roberston, star of TV’s
Western series, “Tales of Wells
Fargo,” will be featured in all 20
rodeo performances. He will be
accompanied by the Men of Wells
Fargo, a musical group who have
appeared with Roberston in shows
throughout the nation.
Mail orders are still being tak-
en for tickets to rodeo perfor-
mances Jan. 30 through Feb. 8.
Two rodeos are held daily at 2
