First Year Scholarships will be given in honor of two former Brazos County Officials

The inaugural 2012 Brazos Valley Fair had an excellent first year.
05/08/2013
 
The Brazos Valley Fair & Expo is pleased to announce that the Fair will be presenting scholarships this year to two 2013 graduating seniors from high schools in the Fair’s designated eight county region.
 
The inaugural 2012 Brazos Valley Fair had an excellent first year. The four day fair and rodeo attracted over 16,000 attendees, had over 900 entries in livestock and competitive events and awarded over $33,000 in premiums to the exhibitors and contestants. The Fair was also awarded the Best New CPRA Rodeo of the Year and received numerous marketing awards at the 2013 Texas Events Summit.
 
An extremely successful first year has allowed the Fair to award the new scholarships to deserving youth in the Brazos Valley. These scholarships will be awarded through the Texas 4-H Foundation during the annual 4-H Round-Up that will be held June 10-12, at Reed Arena on the Texas A&M University campus in College Station. These first two scholarships will be presented in honor of two gentlemen whose passion and leadership were instrumental in helping build the Brazos County Exposition Complex which eventually led to the establishment of the Brazos Valley Fair & Expo. These two individuals were former Brazos County Officials; Commissioner Carey Cauley, and Judge Al Jones.
