Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame Announces Class of 2025

Founded in 1975, the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame has evolved into a museum of sorts inside the historic Cowtown Coliseum in the Fort Worth Stockyards.
The TRCHF has always been committed to honoring the history and heritage of the rodeo cowboy from Texas. Each year, they hold an induction ceremony to recognize the new class of world champions, heroes and heroines of the western rodeo industry.
The Rodeo Reunion and Induction for 2025 will be held April 24 through 26. There will be several events over the course of the weekend. The festivities will kick-off with a golf tournament held at Canyon West Golf Course in Weatherford, Texas on Thursday. Friday will bring about the welcome reception and inductee group photo at the Hall of Fame inside Cowtown Coliseum. Finally on Saturday, the induction and luncheon will occur at River Ranch in Fort Worth, Texas.
The class of 2025 will include 22 outstanding rodeo athletes and personnel who have helped shaped the history of Texas rodeo. According to their website, here is the list of inductees who will forever grace the hall inside Cowtown Coliseum.
