TVCC Rodeo This Weekend
(Press release)
Forget the cold weather. Things will be heating up this weekend at the Henderson County Fair Park Complex.
The 13th annual TVCC National Intercollegiate Association Rodeo is scheduled Friday and Saturday.
Performances are scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. both Friday and Saturday. Slack begins at noon Friday and 11 a.m. Saturday.
General admission tickets are $5 each and may be purchased at the gates. Admission is free for children 12 and under and persons with a current TVCC ID. All proceeds generated by the rodeo are given back to the students to further their education.
Coming from as far away as Louisiana, the event will feature approximately 400 contestants representing 20 colleges and universities including: Hill College, Southwest Texas Junior College, McNeese State University, Louisiana State University, Northeast Texas Community College, Lone Star Community College - Montgomery, Panola Junior College, Texas A&M University, Sam Houston State University, Stephen F. Austin State University, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, Wharton County Junior College and TVCC.
Each NIRA member college has its own club composed of student members and sponsored by a faculty advisor who supervises the club's activities. Each year, a men's team consisting of six members and a four-member women's team is chosen from each school.
These team members travel to the regional rodeos competing against other NIRA member schools. Those not chosen for the team may compete on an individual basis and still be eligible for all prizes except those given to the team. The top three contestants in each event from each of the NIRA's 11 regions qualify to compete in the CNFR. The top two men's teams and women's teams also qualify from the regions.
Along with the college, the event is presented by Living for the Brand Church.
