Since 1993, a volunteer group
has staffed the Astrodome's Northeast Drive entrance to greet the arriving
rodeo contestants and to coordinate the use of the horse stalls the Show
provides the contestants. In 1997, this group of 45 volunteers officially
became the Livery Team Committee.
To many, its name is whimsical
and even a bit silly. But the Outhouse Gang is no laughing matter. One
of three new committees for the 1998 Show, the Outhouse Gang Committee
brings four years of experience as a work group dealing specifically with
what its members call "train wrecks and forest fires." They boast
that more than half of the 35 charter members are still around to enjoy
their new, hard-earned official committee status.
The Houston Livestock Show
and Rodeo is justifiably proud of its newest entertainment area, AGVENTURE Plaza. There is a new committee at the Show that is equally as proud and
can take credit for much of the success of AGVENTURE Plaza - the Special
Attractions Committee. In its first year as an official Show committee,
Special Attractions is responsible for the logistics and liaisons involved
in AGVENTURE Plaza as well as the Double E Plaza, located between the Astrohall
and Astroarena.
