[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1142827, member: 5644"] Now please tell me where you heard that (the comment in red). Here is the schedule of guaranteed payment for the Houston Livestock Show. [url]http://www.rodeohouston.com/LivestockShow/AuctionsandSales/JuniorMarketAuctions/GuaranteedPayment.aspx[/url] If you notice on the payout schedule, HLSR pays exhibitors who placed in their class in all of the shows. Granted, there are caps on the Grand and Reserve. Champions, and the extra money goes towards paying scholarships . This year HLSR gave 735 scholarships to Texas Youth each worth $18,000. That is $13,230,000. [url]http://www.rodeohouston.com/AboutUs/EducationalSupport.aspx#215392-scholarships[/url] HLSR supports all Youth. And what it accomplishes is because of its' volunteers. Another thing, the event is not free to put on. The cost is high. HLSR leases the facilities from Harris County. They don't get to use it for free, and the utilities are not free either. I can tell you something else. Not all of the kids winning come from wealthy families. Last year a girl in our 4-H club won her class with her steer. She worked hard and deserved it. Her dad did not spend 5 figures on the steer. There are good kids out there who work hard and win. They deserve it. It's sad that people don't remember the good kids and their parents, only the bad ones. [/QUOTE]
