VENDORS

HOUSTON – When the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo was canceled in 2020, many businesses worried they would not make it. This year has proven to be another hurdle for rodeo vendors. “At the time, it was called Houston Rodeo Vendors 2020,” Adams. It’s since grown and now called “Texas Festival Vendors” on Facebook, an online page where vendors can share their products. For more information, visit the Texas Festival Vendors Facebook group.

Southwest Houston – Amid the cancelation of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, many vendors are extremely disappointed. Brookwood Community, a community with over 200 adults who are living with disabilities, makes products to sell at the Houston Rodeo every year. It’s the highlight of the year to be able to come to the rodeo,” said Jana Mullins of Brookwood Community. Crystal Cummings has been a rodeo vendor for eleven years with her shop, Accessorize in Style. AdTo support the Brookwood Community, click here.

“Anyone know of any Tamale Cart vendors that will be out this weekend in the cold weather?” he wrote. “I went to Yolanda near Humboldt Park and bought her out so she could go home today. I’d love to do the same for other Vendors and distribute the Tamales to our Neighbors experiencing homelessness. Let me know of any leads please.”
