 Reliant Astrodome Redevelopment - A Tri-Party Dilemma
Throughout Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ history, the efficient use of adequate facilities, land purchases, new building construction, redevelopment of buildings and grounds, and the availability of sufficient vehicle parking spaces have been keys to the Show’s phenomenal success. Many times in the Show’s history, its leadership has faced challenges and tough decisions regarding those elements of success. Another such decision time is here.
The J.D. Hudgins Ranch is a 75-year veteran of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™. It has impacted cattlemen since the first Houston Fat Stock Show and Livestock Exposition in 1932 and it has continued to do so through the Show’s silver, gold and diamond anniversaries. In fact, during the 2007 Show, the J.D. Hudgins Ranch was presented with the “Here-From-the-Beginning” Award.
Who was the first president of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™? How many volunteers currently are serving on committees? Where do all the trail rides originate? Why do FFA students sell the Show’s Souvenir Programs? Do you know what committee is responsible for moving all the livestock in and out? When was the first scholarship awarded and for how much? What attraction was advertised at the first Stock Show? Who is responsible for the beautiful bronzes around the Show grounds? And, how do the Rodeo contestants spend their free time while in Houston?
