Poultry, pride and perseverance are factors that define the Poultry Auction Committee as one of the junior livestock auctions of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™. The Poultry Auction Committee is dedicated to pre-selling as many pens (six chickens each) of broilers and individual turkeys as possible. Commit-tee members ensure that each junior exhibitor goes home with a lot more than chicken feed in his or her pocket. In fact, in order to earn the gold committee badge, each of the 125 members must raise a minimum of $4,000 in pre-sales or cash contributions.
As the 1974 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ began, who would have thought the trail of smoke coming from the parking lot would linger for 32 years?
