Behind The Chutes and Elsewhere - Texas Hall of Fame Induction
[Apr. 17, 2008]
My travels are getting shorter! No, it doesn’t have a thing to do with the gas prices, but it sure could. It just so happens I only live an hour away from Belton, Texas, where the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame Induction Weekend was held and I wanted to be there. Over 800 people showed up to observe, honor their friends or family. It was truly a special time as thirty-two cowboys and cowgirls were inducted for 2008.

Ride Rite, Inc. Burglarized - Bull Riding Memorabilia Stolen
[Apr. 2, 2008] It was no April Fools joke for the Ride Right, Inc. of Farmersville, TX when they discovered they had been burglarized.

Herald rodeo scribe to be feted
[Mar. 12, 2008] Dwayne Erickson was reluctant to take the assignment. Hockey, basketball, golf, even cricket. Anything but rodeo!

That it would establish him one day as the premier rodeo reporter in Canada. And, today,

BRETT HOFFMAN: Williams in right place at right time
[Feb. 26, 2008] Clayton Williams is a 22-year-old bull rider who has earned $740,000 by winning just two bull riding shows.
