From Ralph Clark, About.com GuideMarch 31, 2004

The world's most famous weekly rodeo is beginning it's 47 season. The Mesquite Rodeo, at the Resistol Arena, runs every weekend April 2 through October. Make sure you catch all the rodeo excitement from Mesquite, on the Fox Sports Net, by checking the television schedule.
The Mesquite Rodeo has been thrilling fans since 1958, when cowboy Neal Gay and All-Around Champion Jim Shoulders decided to create a place where local Texas cowboys could test their skills.
People began filling the stands and the rodeo grew at an amazing rate. In 1980 a deal was struck with cable television and the rodeo became one of the most popular and recognizable events in the sport.
