As a native Houstonian, I am a big fan of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Its the largest livestock show in the world and comes to town every year for 3 weeks. Its an overload for the senses with exciting rodeo events, live music, treats like fried oreos and, of course, the smell of barnyard animals.

Next to the main event, is the exhibit area where you can buy anything from boots to hot tubs. And every year all the big tractor and truck manufacturers have fancy displays with their latest and greatest products. You won’t miss the pick-up truck displays, Chevy even has a Silverado chassis on display to give you a sense of all the working parts. (I’m not a car nut so I had to look that word up, but its basically just the frame of the vehicle).

While the trucks aren’t being sold new to run on CNG in the U.S., many of these trucks are ideal for conversion. list of trucks and other cars that can currently be converted to CNG.

The last weekend of the rodeo is this weekend, so if you are craving bizarre fried foods you better hurry up! I just got a new Flip video camera for my upcoming trip, and I tested it out last night at my new favorite rodeo event – Mutton Bustin’. Little kids riding sheep and holding on for dear life – hilarious.
