For veteran
country music artist Charley Pride, the thought of performing in
the Reliant Astrodome with a star-studded lineup at the March 2,
2002, Legends of RODEOHOUSTON™ in Concert was enough to make a man proud!
According to
the National Cutting Horse Association, there is more than one Super
Bowl in America. Sure, there may be the one hosted by the National
Football League, but there also is one that takes place in the horse
world.
While appreciating
the challenges of charging ahead into an exciting new era, the leadership
of RODEOHOUSTON recognized the personalities whose colorful, forward-thinking
determination and energy produced the world-renowned Houston Livestock
Show and Rodeo.
After 35 years
of service, James O. "Jim" Bloodworth, the retiring chairman of
the board of directors of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo,
has many memories upon which to reflect..
Since it opened
in 1965, the Reliant Astrodome has been a memory maker. More than
141 million people have visited a countless variety of events in
the Dome, including baseball, football, motocross, destruction derbies,
numerous unique sporting events, concerts of all kinds, and, of
course, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
