Big Red’s Roundup features cowboys young and old
The clang of the metal gate echoes through the arena as the bull exits the chute, the noise quickly turning into the thumping of hooves as the bull bucks.
Whether you’re cheering for the cowboy or the bull, the bleachers buzz with excitement as eight seconds nears. The buzzer goes off, and the audience impatiently waits for the score.
The Spindletop Boomtown Museum was transformed into a rodeo arena, Sept. 20, for Big Red’s Roundup. The event was hosted by the Lamar University Center for Resiliency.
The event introduced the new LU rodeo team, and included bull riding and mutton bustin’.
A resiliency showcase, car show, food trucks and a kids’ zone were held at the museum, and Running On Credit closed out the night with a concert at the Derrick Stage.
