HOUSTON Mats Zuccarello White Jersey , March 17 (Xinhua) -- The Spaniards who in the 1500s brought livestock competitions to what became part of South America, Mexico and the western United States could never have imagined that one day in 2015, their work and cultural festivities would be honored during the world's largest rodeo.

More than 155,000 people - 26 Henrik Lundqvist White Jersey ,406 more visitors than last year - turned out at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo's Go Tejano Day on Sunday, a day set aside in the March 3-22 rodeo to honor Hispanic heritage, which includes the concept of the rodeo itself.

Linda Alonzo-Saenz, 57 Ryan McDonagh White Jersey , an executive member of the Rodeo's Go Tejano Day Committee, said the creation of the special day to encourage people of Hispanic culture to attend the Houston rodeo has proven to be a success in celebrating the heritage of Texas.

"Tejano is translation of Texas in Spanish and Go Tejano Day started in order to get more involvement from the Hispanic community, just as the rodeo started as a Spanish tradition," Alonzo-Saenz said. "Spanish got here and brought longhorn and other cattle - and what would be more obvious than to blend with the native Western culture already here (Native Americans) and then adding all the diverse cultures that now make up Texas."

The Go Tejano Day Committee honors not just Hispanic people Mika Zibanejad Black Jersey , but all the people who support the events that make up the rodeo, including agricultural and scholarship events.
