🥳 Congratulations to our top selling Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo Volunteers who are enjoying the beautiful views in Cabo!
Every year our volunteers help us raise money for Youth Scholarships by helping sell tickets and other items for the Fair. The pre-sale campaign kicks off this year in June, and Volunteers will have through the first week of September to help us raise those funds. At the end of the campaign, the top sellers get to go on a fun ALL PAID week-long vacation to a surprise destination AND they get to bring a plus one. It’s something we all look forward to every year!
