Has there ever been a child who has watched the
calf scramble at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo without hoping that
someday he or she could be one of the scramblers? Not likely.
But if you think that the calf scramble is about a bunch of loosely
organized kids chasing a small herd of reluctant calves around the arena,
you need to take a closer look. This perceived chaos is actually carefully
orchestrated through the efforts of Show volunteers serving on the four
Calf Scramble committees.
It might surprise you to learn that the most important criteria for membership
on the Speakers Committee are not public speaking skills. "Those we
can teach you," said Dick Hudgins, chairman. "We judge future
Speakers Committee members on their heart, their dedication to the Show
and all it stands for, their enthusiasm and their attitude."
