Page 5 of 5 1 2 3 4 5 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.

WHAT IF?? . . . . . RODEO HAD BEEN REPORTED ON SPORTS PAGES FOR THE LAST 100 YEARS??[Apr. 12, 2007] Did you ever wonder what might have happened if things had been different in the past? If the sport of rodeo was covered on the Sports Pages of newspapers across this nation since the beginning of rodeo would the sport be further ahead than it is now? Would rodeo have mega-major sponsors supporting it, and more clamoring to be involved? By Gail Woerner
