SAN ANTONIO \u2013 The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo is welcoming two new members into its Hall of Fame \u2014 each honored for leaving a mark on the organization in different ways.<\/p>\n
According to a news release, Alex Pe\u00f1a and Christopher \u201cKit\u201d Goldsbury Jr. are the 2027 Hall of Fame inductees. Both were nominated by rodeo volunteers and selected for induction by the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo Hall of Fame Committee. <\/p>\n
More than 7,000 volunteers serve the rodeo each year. The Hall of Fame Committee was established in 1999 to recognize those who have made a lasting impact to the rodeo\u2019s mission of serving Texas youth, according to the release.<\/p>\n
Pe\u00f1a has been a life member of the rodeo for more than 35 years, starting his volunteer service on the ambassador committee. <\/p>\n
The rodeo said Pe\u00f1a \u201cwent on to play an instrumental role in establishing the first cattle drive through downtown San Antonio,\u201d which has since transformed into the annual Western Heritage Weekend featuring the cattle drive, parade, 5K run and Vaquero Cook-Off.<\/p>\n
In the release, Pe\u00f1a said being part of the rodeo \u201cis like being part of a family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goldsbury, a life member for more than 25 years, \u201chas made a lasting impact through his generosity and support of the organization,\u201d the release states.<\/p>\n
He donated 61 acres to the rodeo, providing a permanent home for the Bar-B-Que Cook-Off and other competitive events.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir contributions are different, but they share something at the heart of service: a willingness to give what they could to something larger than themselves,\u201d the rodeo said.<\/p>\n
The 2027 San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo is set for Feb. 11-28.<\/p>\n
