Saturday evening! My wife Kari and I thoroughly enjoyed
Rodeo Opry from beginning to end. We were wowed by
the skill-level of the musicians, the variety of vocalists
and the up and coming talent here in Oklahoma! The
new facility in Stockyards City is very nice, and
the staff very welcoming ... we even enjoyed dinner
at Cattleman's Cafe before the show. Thanks for bringing
such high caliber live entertainment to an up-and-coming
tourist destination. Look out Nashville!"
