So Much Fun! Kids Mutton Bustin’ This Weekend in Lindale, Texas

So often we hear from parents in East Texas that there aren’t enough family activities in our area. But this weekend there will be lots of fun to be had in Lindale, Texas as the good people at the Lindale Area Chamber of Commerce are once again bringing some rodeo fun. This Thursday, Friday and Saturday (May 18th-20th) is the Lindale Championship Rodeo! 

Last year I was in attendance, and it was a whole lot of fun. It takes place at Cross Brand Area/ Cross Brand Cowboy Church (11915 Fm 2015, Tyler, TX 75708) and each night the gates will open up at 6:00p.m.
