Back in 1938 when it all started, Rodeo Austin was just a small livestock show with only a few animals. Over the years it has grown into a large show that now allows both the 4H and FFA members from across the state to partake. In 1950 is when the rodeo was brought in and added to the stock show and fair. Although they had a rough start, it is now not only sanctioned by the PRCA but has also become one of the top five best Pro Rodeos in America. Rodeo Austin officially became a nonprofit back in the 1980s. Its mission was to give back to the kids of Texas. The scholarship program alone has awarded over $8 million dollars to roughly 2,000 students. As well as educating students about agriculture and the importance it has in this world.

I grew up on a Midwest farm with dirt under my fingernails and the sound of wind rustling through cornfields. My childhood was all about 4H – raising pigs and horses, learning to bake and sew, and discovering the magic of transforming a garden into jars of summer sunshine. Those years taught me the value of hard work, the thrill of seeing a project through to the end, and the simple joy of creating something beautiful. A country girl with a need for speed and a thirst for adventure. Maybe that's why I love the feeling of wind in my hair – whether I'm cruising down a dusty road on my Harley or tackling a mountain trail on my trusty mountain bike. Some of my earliest memories of rodeo are watching my father compete at small local events. That's also where my love for country music comes in – long car rides listening to 8 tracks. The lyrics and melodies always spoke to my soul. These days, you'll find me cheering on the cowboys and cowgirls at rodeos, two-stepping to my favorite bands, belting out a country tune at a concert or sharing stories and laughter with friends around a bonfire. When I'm not soaking up the country life and getting my boots dirty, I'm a nurse, caring for folks in my community. Follow along for more stories from the heart of rodeo and country life!
