In case you didn't notice, it's Rodeo time in Houston, and nothing says "YEE-HAW!" like a good old-fashioned, er, Clothing Corral. Whether you are planning to attend the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo or not, git yerself into the spirit while supporting a great cause this Thursday, March 12, when Blanco's on West Alabama will hold a clothing and stuffed animal drive to benefit ChildBuilders.org and the Harris County Family and Juvenile Courts. An entry fee of $25 gets you a membership to the ChildBuilders Nightshift, an after-work philanthropy group of young professionals dedicated to supporting the mission of ChildBuilders. While supporting the young 'uns you can sip some cold ones, nibble on snacks from Firehouse Subs, and find a loving home for those carnival game prizes you won at the rodeo last year. ChildBuilders is a non-profit organization that has brought education and assistance to Houston families since 1974. The programs teach children, teachers and parents important skills to help children lead healthier emotional and social lives. Night Shift's Clothing Corral and Cocktail Party
