$9.3 million in premiums raised for 2020 Rodeo Houston Exhibitors

From the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo:
‘Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo officials announced that more than 10,000 junior exhibitors who were affected by the event’s early closure would be receiving premiums in their respective categories. Many of the annual livestock competitions were not held in 2020 after the Rodeo was closed 12 days early, in the interest of public health, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Rodeo’s School Art competition and lamb and goat competitions were completed before the early closure.

 

“These junior livestock exhibitors work year-round to prepare for our annual event, and we are honored to present them with these premiums after such a heartbreaking end to the 2020 Rodeo,” said Chris Boleman, Rodeo president and CEO. “Our volunteers, staff, donors, auction buyers and community came together to support those who were impacted by the early closure, and this is truly a testament to the generosity of everyone who is part of the Rodeo family.”’
