And that\u2019s part of our advertising campaign. So our little twist on it is learn why you\u2019ll love Rd. tripping it here,\u201d Bertinot said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The booth has been handing out luggage tags, bandanas and temporary tattoos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vetmed.tamu.edu\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/vetmed.tamu.edu\/\">Texas A&amp;M Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences<\/a> has also been at the rodeo throughout the month with a recruitment booth stocked with information and giveaways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Juna Glasscock with the Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences school said the booth helps raise awareness of the college and university.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt\u2019s just getting the name of the college and the university out there. When we have people that are at events, they can educate people or if there\u2019s questions, they can easily answer them because most of them, it\u2019s their job to be answering questions,\u201d Glasscock said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">As Texas A&amp;M Night got underway, Glasscock said Aggies were stopping by the booth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of people stop by tonight, even just giving us a gig \u2018em, a howdy, or saying their class years and seeing if maybe we know people that they do,\u201d Glasscock said. \u201cAnd then we have some who are current students that have stopped by and they just see our cut out of Miss Rev and they want to say hi or take a picture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">College Station City Manager Bryan Woods attended the festivities with his daughter. He said the rodeo is an opportunity to reach people in Houston and other areas around Texas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt\u2019s really the perfect combination of everything for us to be here and be able to meet all the Aggies coming in and hopefully those who aren\u2019t in College Station anymore can remember what it was like to be there and come back and visit. So it\u2019s exciting. It\u2019s the perfect night,\u201d Woods said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Representatives from both Visit College Station and Texas A&amp;M said the rodeo run was successful and they hope to return next year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 KBTX.
