Houston Livestock Show And Rodeo Scores Record Attendance

Saturday March 27, 2004
Almost 2 million people came to see this amazing rodeo. One high profile rodeo fan, President Bush also showed up. The rodeo featured concerts by Brooks & Dunn, Beyonce', Kenny Chesney and George Strait.

This rodeo was huge, it broadcast its action on pay-per-view. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is a charitable event that benfits youth and education throughout Texas. They have earned over $100 million for scholarships, graduate assistanceships, endowments, and grants since 1957.

This is one rodeo that every serious fan should attend at least once. With any luck I am going to hit this one next year!
