The Orange Show is probably one of the strangest places I’ve ever been. The first time I went, it really depressed me (I’ll explain why in a moment), but I loved it so much that I kept going back. I think I can safely say that The Orange Show was one of my favorite things about Houston.
Basically, The Orange Show is the product of an artist’s work over a period of about 20 years. Jeff McKissack wanted to build the next Disney World. His version was set to be a three ringed show in honor of the holistic, medicinal, and spiritual qualities of oranges (there are some clowns thrown in there, too). He bought some property, and then spent decades working on his show. He welded together wagon wheels, soldered tractor seats, and made mosaics throughout the interior and exterior of his property. He was devastated when nobody showed up. Years after his death, the Center for Visionary Art was formed in Houston, with McKissack’s work being a central focus.
