Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo: Drawing Millions Annually in Support of Charity, Education, and Science, by South Houston Engine Service Inc

South Houston Engine Service Inc., which specializes in diesel-engine remanufacturing, helps sponsor the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. South Houston Engine Service Inc. and its team of ASE-certified mechanics respect and appreciate the philanthropic mission of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Since The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo began in 1932, it has donated more than $330 million to educational youth programs, scholarships, endowments, research, and participants and exhibitors in its many events and programs. For eight decades, it has aimed to improve the way in which livestock are bred, raised, and marketed. The Show continues to pursue its goal through charitable, educational, and scientific outreach to its community. Currently run as a 20-day event, the Show has drawn more than two million attendees for the last three consecutive years.

The Show offers a wide variety of entertainment and activities for all attendees. Visitors enjoy the World Championship BBQ Contest, many concerts, with upcoming headliners including Toby Keith and Demi Lavato, livestock and horse shows, parades, various rodeos, the School Art Program, and Rodeo Uncorked!, an international wine competition.
