GALLERY: The 113th National Western Stock Show kick-off parade
When more than 40 Longhorn cattle start making their way through the streets of downtown Denver during the early days of January, you know the National Western Stock Show is coming to town. It was no different Thursday, as more than 70 entries in total marched down 17th Street in Denver - including longhorn cattle, cowboys and cowgirls, CAM the Ram (the mascot for Colorado State University), Cowboy Joe (the mascot for the University of Wyoming), among others.
