Lets Rodeo

This morning  we shot some upcoming rodeo segments and I seriously cannot beleive rodeo will be here in a few shorts weeks.    How can you not love the rodeo?   Where else on earth can you see 4 and 5 yr old kids riding sheeps (Mutton Bustin), REAL cowboys,  great performers (for very little money),  buy anything fried under the sun including oreos and twinkies-  all while millions are going to youth scholarships?

Its unheard of.    I can remember as a kid growing up in Houston going out each February and buying a new pair of pink cowgirl boots,  then as a teenager hanging around the World Championship BBQ (my parents were on a cooking team).  As I grew into my 20's   hitting the Country Western Bars along Richmond during rodeo time but I have to say now is my favorite time to attend the shows and be part of the GREATEST show on Earth!

I have been on the BBQ publicity committee for 12 years and I appreciate the friendships formed from either freezing, sweating or getting drenched in rain showers- while on your shift.   The other thing that makes Rodeo Houston so special is that is does not matter if you are the President of a huge Oil & Gas company or dig ditches for a living- if you want to serve and volunteer- everyone is equal on the rodeo dirt.

So if you are looking for some way to give back to the community- look at volunteering at the rodeo-youll be helping a student reach their dreams to attend school and I can promise you - you will have the best time!
