DENVER—Denver’s mayor has instructed city residents to “dress Western” Thursday in honor of the opening of the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo.
Mayor Michael Hancock declared “Dress Western Day” to mark Thursday’s annual cattle drive of Texas Longhorn cattle through downtown Denver.
Hancock said in a statement that residents should “get into the ‘steer-wranglin’ spirit” and attend the parade. Denver is trying to boost excitement for the rodeo’s 106th year after the stock show last year considered moving to neighboring Aurora in search of more room.
The rodeo opens Saturday and runs through Jan. 22.
