Prison Rodeo Gone, but Not Forgotten
Another piece of Texas history was razed in mid-January when bulldozers unceremoniously demolished the prison rodeo arena in Huntsville, but the memory of the event rides on.
The original rodeo grounds in Huntsville were demolished in 2012, due to condition of arena. Recently though, local officials have given support to creating the prison rodeo again.
