 It’s A Wrap!
Another Record Breaking Year ... The 2008 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ was another record– year! The 76th annual Show had entertainment for all ages of visitors yet again, with superstar performances on the stage and in the arena dirt.
During his three-year tenure as chairman of the board of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™, Paul Somerville saw the introduction of the RODEOHOUSTON™ Super Series format; the very successful 75th anniversary celebration highlighting the "Year of the Volunteer"; the addition of new committees, such as the Ranching and Wildlife and the Jr. Rodeo committees; and the many record–breaking performances and auctions. Most importantly, Somerville witnessed the Show’s continued commitment to the youth of Texas by awarding more than $25 million in scholarships to aspiring students during the last three years.
Louisiana–born Kix Brooks and Texas–born Ronnie Dunn formed the famed, top–selling country music duo, Brooks & Dunn, in 1990. Together, they have become a fixture in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ entertainer lineup since their first appearance in 1992. On March 22, 2008, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn were inducted into the Show’s Star Trail of Fame at a special ceremony held in their honor in Reliant Center.
