6 - Ropin the Rodeo and Eatin Funnel Cake (4 Miles)
Link to the route
The idea of the San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo was first thought up by J. Culberson “Cub” Deal, who was serving as the elected manager of the San Angelo Board of City Development (Chamber of Commerce). Deal thought San Angelo would benefit more from a spring stock show than a fair, and called a meeting with Claude A. Broome, John P. Lee, J. Willis Johnson, Jr., D.T. Jones and County Agent W.I. Marschall. The group was dedicated to the promotion of better breeding, and the fattening and finishing of livestock, on West Texas ranches and farms. The group decided the major feature would be involvement from the 4-H Club Boys and Vocational Agriculture Students in the area. The first event was held on the Polo Field from February 29 through March 2, 1932. In the first show, 15 Texas counties were represented and auctions totaled approximately $10,000. For more information see www.sanangelorodeo.com.

7 - Fort Concho Historical Trail (3 Miles)
Link to the route
Fort Concho was established on December 4, 1867, after the army had to abandon Fort Chadbourne (located north of what is now Bronte, Texas) for lack of good water. The new fort was located at the junction of the North and South Concho Rivers. The fort consisted of some forty buildings and was constructed of native limestone. Fort Concho was closed in June 1889 after having served this area for some twenty-two years. Today, the fort is a National Historical Landmark.

8 - 12 Days of Christmas along the Concho (3 Miles)
Link to the route
Lee Pfluger, a San Angelo philanthropist and businessman, developed the idea of Concho Christmas in 1995. After finding support from community leaders in October of that same year, a committee of interested San Angeloans created a walking tour in the El Paseo de Santa Angela area featuring several lighted scenes and 21 sponsor Christmas cards. Then, in 1996, Concho Christmas found a new and permanent home along River Drive which allowed for its evolution from a walking to a driving tour.
