Howdy, pardner! Come join cowgirl storyteller, Ramblin’ Rita, for some terrific Texas Tales April 11, 2026! This cowgirl has traveled from the deserts of West Texas to the shores of the Gulf Coast and boy howdy, has she picked up some mighty tall tales along the way. Her stories are perfect for audiences of all ages. Even better than that, she brings brave buckaroos up from the audience to help her act out her wild west stories! So, dust off your ten-gallon hat and saddle up for storytelling fun as big as Texas!
Immerse yourself in the world of the vaquero and learn about the traditions that shaped the American cowboy. From horsemanship and roping to clothing, tools, and everyday language, discover how vaquero skills and practices influenced life on the range and left a lasting mark on Western culture. Enjoy guided activities for all ages and see the exhibition, Vaquero: Genesis of the Texas Cowboy, with free gallery entry during the program!
