The 59th Annual Brown County Rodeo got underway Thursday night and will continue Friday and Saturday nights.  Mutton Bustin begins at 7:30 pm followed by the rodeo performance at 8:00 pm.  Other events on the schedule include the Rodeo Parade through the streets of downtown Brownwood on Saturday morning beginning at 10:00 am.  After the parade, make your way to Fuzzy’s Taco Shop for a KOXE Live Remote and, if you so desire, try to ride a mechanical bull.  Saturday night, beginning at 8:00 pm inside the livestock show barn, adjacent to the rodeo arena, you can dance to the Caleb Sutton Band followed by Ariel Hutchins, Texas Female Vocalist of the Year.  You can also listen to the rodeo on KOXE 101.3 Friday and Saturday nights starting shortly before 8:00 pm and catch a live video stream on KOXE.com.
