進入Fort Worth市中心的路上 正中央的是市政府! Fort Worth市中心是很有人文氣息的地方!常常有各種的創作展, 也有很多的傳統建築喔!
這是再牲畜展裡所看到的一頭母牛, 可看出這一頭母牛大概也是剛生小牛, 真的是乳汁豐富啊!

上一個星期六我們一家人去參觀了Fort Worth市的牛仔及畜牧展. 這一個展已經有了一百二十一年的歷史傳統, 開始時也是一個農牧業的一年一度的交易市集, 演變至今ㄝ也有騎野牛的表演及比賽及牲觸的選拔及比賽, 很多的農家對於他們所養的牲畜得獎是一項很大的驕傲, 對於他們的畜牧事業也是有很大的幫助的. 參展的農人都是從德州的各個地區來的。
以下的這一些是簡介傳單 官方網址為: http://www.fwstockshowrodeo.com/ 除了牲畜展及牛仔騎野牛比賽及表演以外，還有很多其他好玩的項目。。。
