Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame Please pray for the family of Booger Barter. He re-wrote the book on how to put on a equstrian event. He will be greatly missed. Posted at 9:22 PM Dec 9, 2009 view more
This organization is dedicated to the sport of rodeo and the recognition of Texas' contribution to that sport. The TRCHF was founded in 1975 by Johnny Boren and a group of Belton, Texas, businessmen. Boren was the manager of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) Lone Star Circuit, the biggest circuit in the PRCA’s circuit system. A Ford automobile dealer in Belton, Boren frequently had world champions sitting across the desk from him at his dealership. Autographed photos of world champs adorned both his office and his home. He was a well-known bull rider and founder of the Old Timers Rodeo Association.
The Hall of Fame was first housed in several Belton-area businesses, including a western wear store. Eventually, the Hall of Fame moved to the Bell County Expo Center in Belton, back to its roots, only a block or so away from the Ford dealership where it was born.
Funds are currently being raised for a permanent Hall of Fame building in Belton. The Hall contains pictures and biographies of famous Texas rodeo cowboys who helped to shape the sport from its inception until the present day. A special thanks goes out to Ferrell Butler, who donated the photos for this site.
