Trappings of Texas, celebrating its 34th anniversary this year, is a distinctive event that showcases a combination of both handmade cowboy gear and Western art. It has become a highly-anticipated show that honors the Lone Star State’s rich Western heritage, drawing people from as far as Georgia, Florida, New Mexico, and Colorado to the mountains of the Big Bend Region. With the challenges that COVID-19 has posed, the event has moved online this year, expanding the opportunity for anyone-no matter their location-to participate. Trappings of Texas online sale runs through August 2. The show is the major fundraiser for the Museum of the Big Bend, located on the campus of Sul Ross State University in Alpine.
