CORPUS CHRISTI — Get ready to cowboy up because the rodeo is coming to town this weekend. Take a scenic tour around the Coastal Bend while combating diabetes. The King will officially be back in the building. In this week's edition of Caller Entertainment's Top 5 Weekend Picks with Sarah Acosta you can cheer on professional bull riders, celebrate the King of Rock 'n' Roll and even see wiener dogs fly.
Bucking bulls this Buc Days: It doesn't quite feel like Buc Days until the rodeo arrives at the American Bank Center. Enjoy the Buc Days Miller Lite Pro Rodeo Friday through Sunday with some of the top cowboys in the nation competing. Read the full story on the rodeo here.
Combat diabetes: The Coastal Bend will join the American Diabetes Association in its fight against the disease with the Tour de Cure cycling event Saturday starting and finishing at the Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz International Center. Find out how to participate here.
King no longer banned: In 1956 Elvis Presley was banned from Corpus Christi, or so the legend goes. And now the Corpus Christi Patch organization will officially lift that ban against the King Sunday while celebrating his life through music and Elvis-themed festivities before and after the Corpus Christi Hooks game at 1 p.m. at Whataburger Field. See how to get "All Shook Up" for the event here.
The wind beneath a wiener dog's ears: It's that windy time of the year, where Windfest will take over Portland from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday outside City Hall at 1900 Billy G. Webb Drive. Festival goers can enjoy a chili cook-off, carnival rides, a parade, a classic car show and the much anticipated dachshund races. Read more about windfest here.
Santus Real: The well known Christian rock band Sanctus Real will be rocking out with other Christian groups like JJ Heller and Bread of Stone at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds. Tickets: $15/presale, free/children under 10. Read more on the concert here.
