Over the last 150 years four million head of cattle, on their way north, trailed through Fort Worth which was soon nicknamed “Cowtown.” Let’s zip back in time and see the current herd make its twice-daily cattle drive.  Then we can either visit Stockyards Station for an exciting blend of old and new Texas with its many shops and the best of Texas grub (at your own expense); or walk the Texas Trail of Fame and read some of the 116 bronze markers in the stockyard that honor the achievements of Western adventurers; or you can pay an extra $2 and visit the Stockyard Museum which is in the heart of the stockyards in the Livestock Exchange building.  There is something in this trip that will interest everyone. The bus will leave at 10:00 am, we will watch the herd of 15 longhorns meander through the stockyards at 11:30 am (weather permitting), eat, shop, walk around and then return to Texins about 3:00 pm. Cost is $15 for members and $17 for nonmembers.
