My committee works directly with the kids so it's a good way to give back and volunteer. Also it's full of great people I enjoy being around. We work hard and have fun for those few weeks each year.
It's also pretty cool to be able to spend time behind the scenes of the largest rodeo and livestock show in the world and something that means quite a bit to Houston culture and history.
About 45 days? Nah.blindey said:

I agree with this, that is why I asked. I avoid the rodeo as much as I can but I would never fault someone for wanting to do this. I was just curious what others got out of it.Ferris Wheel Allstar said:If you have to ask, it's not for youAgOrb said:

Basically this for me too.The Wonderer said:I've made some really good friend through my committee and others and really enjoy the Rodeo much more than when I just went to see a show. I spend probably all but maybe three or four days on the grounds from Cookoff through the last show. Plus, providing a service that helps a group provide scholarships and teaches traditions and Texan culture is be benefit for me. This is my first year getting involved with a livestock buying team and I'm excited for that.AgOrb said:

What are y'all planning on buying?
In da house!Ferris Wheel Allstar said:
Yeah theres a few of you on here.
Even more fun when you're doing the buying! And going to the parties is fun too. We buy in all 4 livestock auctions, and going to buy in wine for the first time this year.The Wonderer said:

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has pretty much helped shape me into who I am today. My family has been involved for as long as I can remember, been a life member since I was 10, got on a committee the first change I could (Junior Rodeo Committee - JRC) which I did for 5 years until I could be on finally be on adult committee and have been doing that for the past 3 years. Also interned multiple times doing various things through A&M. I don't think anything is more rewarding than knowing you are helping change someone's life and giving them a chance to have the kind of education you were blessed to have. I wouldn't change it for the world!!AgOrb said:

Think a few others here on the board are as well
I'm on the Armed Forces Appreciation Committee. We hire buses to go to Ft Hood and Ft Polk to pick up soldiers and their families. We give them all the good Texas BBQ they can eat, then give them seats to the rodeo and concert as well as carnival coupons. They get a free day at the rodeo with their families and get to have fun with their kids without spending any money.AgOrb said:

I am curious as to why she wants to be on that committee?Lester Freamon said:
Anyone know Steer Starlettes committee members? My wife is looking into it, she has a couple connections on the committee already, but wanted to see if anyone here had any tips on the process.
This is solid advice. The more select Rodeo committees are getting more selective on letting 1st time members on the committee because of retention.Cstrickland05 said:
I'd suggest that she try another committee this year just get her feet wet and see if she even likes being a part of the Show. That will also give her a chance to meet people on MB which could help her get on, because if she doesn't know anyone, especially someone high up, she most likely isn't getting on MB no matter when she signs up.
