Last week Los Fresnos held the 32nd Annual Los Fresnos Rodeo & Cameron County Livestock Contest! Known by many as the Biggest Little Rodeo in Texas. A big part of the Rodeo is the Cameron County Livestock contest.
The Los Fresnos 4-H leader, Eddie Cruz has been a 4-H Manager for 36 years. The longest 4-H Manager in the Cameron County area, and is very passionate about what he does for these kids.
Mr. Cruz tells Los Fresnos News that this is something he loves doing for the kids. But it’s so much bigger than just him. He expresses the importance of the parents being dedicated to their kids as well.
He says “Matter of fact, they (the some of the families) are driving up to San Antonio to the show up there.” “That’s parent commitment,” Cruz says.
Cruz also mentions several of his previous students have been gone on to become veterinarians.
Congratulations to both, Nicholas Ruiz, who is a 7th grader attending Liberty Memorial Middle School, as well as Ryan Vasquez, a 3rd Grader that is attending Dora Romero Elementary. Ruiz received grand champion of the show, and Ryan Vazquez received reserved grand champion of the show.
Great job to both these kiddos along with all the students and kids that competed it was a great competition, these kids deserve all the credit.
