MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT JOE STRAUB 2018-2020 Rodeo Austin President

I was honored to serve as President of Rodeo Austin for a second term in 2019 – 2020. This past year was one of the most challenging years the organization has ever faced, but Rodeo Austin continues to prove we are gritty enough to get through this.

The Fall of 2019 opened the chute on a wonderful “off-season” for Rodeo Austin. The Rodeo Austin Shoot Out Sporting Clay Tournament was held once again at Texas Disposal System Exotic Game Ranch and the BBQ Auction & Dance went back to its roots and was held on the Rodeo Austin grounds. Both events were filled with many Rodeo Austin supporters and raised money for our great mission. This past Fall Rodeo Austin completed a re-branding study which concluded by launching a new mission statement, It takes grit to grow the next generation…it’s in our roots!

In February 2020, the Rodeo Austin Gala and Youth Art Auction returned to the Palmer Events Center for a fun-filled night of raising money while listening to the sounds of Gary Allan. The 2020 Youth Art Show expanded into a stand-alone event that was held the Friday night before the Rodeo Austin Gala and students, artists, teachers, parents, and donors all gathered to view the exceptional art created by 350 Texas students.

The top 40 pieces sold for more than $60,000 the following night at the Rodeo Austin Gala.

In March 2020, the world began to change rapidly as Rodeo Austin continued to plan, promote and set up for BBQ Austin and the Fair & Rodeo. On March 6, the City of Austin did not have any confirmed cases of COVID-19 and all businesses were open and operating as normal. Rodeo Austin worked with several thirdparty vendors to add additional signage and hand washing stations at both the Cowboy Breakfast and BBQ Austin. The weekend kicked off with 5,000 people enjoying free breakfast at Rodeo Austin’s largest media event, Cowboy Breakfast. Later that day, the BBQ Austin gates opened, and we welcomed a record number of cooking teams while the public poured through the gates. As these events were taking place, the world was beginning to see shutdowns as the pandemic began to come to light.

The following six days Rodeo Austin volunteers, vendors, contractors, staff, sponsors, all continued to work tirelessly in anticipation of the 2020 Fair & Rodeo opening the gates. Meanwhile, Rodeo Austin leadership worked closely with County and City Officials to monitor the ever-changing public health situation. With the Fairgrounds fully set up and ready to open, at 6 pm on March 12, 2020, Rodeo Austin was heartbroken to learn that County and City Officials had ordered Rodeo Austin to cancel all remaining events for March. Even in the midst of complete devastation, Rodeo Austin staff, volunteers, contractors, and vendors, pulled together to begin the massive task of tearing down the Fairgrounds. A year like no other!

Since 1938, Rodeo Austin has been a mission with a rodeo that has brought heritage and entertainment to our community while raising millions for Texas kids, and for the first time in our history, we were unable to do this.

The Fair & Rodeo serves as the largest fundraiser for our non-profit, and the economic impact of the event cancellation was devastating. Especially to the kids who had spent hard-earned money and a year on their livestock projects and did not have the opportunity to sell that project at the Youth Auction.

In the months that passed, Rodeo Austin proved that we are in fact, Gritty Enough to make it through anything, including this pandemic! I am extremely grateful to all the donors, sponsors, ticket buyers, and volunteers who have come to Rodeo Austin’s aid and demonstrated their financial commitment to the organization.

We look forward to hosting events again in 2021. Thank you for your unwavering support of Rodeo Austin’s mission of Growing the Next Generation…It’s in Our Roots!

MARKETING BRANDED Rodeo Austin worked with branding agency Root + River to better tell the story of the organization. In September 2019, Rodeo Austin staff and executive members held a three-day deep dive session to determine our root belief and core statement, hone our story and begin crafting a new mission statement. At the end of the root session, Rodeo Austin’s new mission statement, "Our Mission is to grow the next generation...it's in our roots!" The new messaging made its debut at the fall board meeting in November just before Rodeo Austin’s marketing launched for 2020 events.

We believe it takes grit to grow the next generation. We are Rodeo Austin, a notfor-profit that provides real experiences and gritty fun to raise millions for Texas kids. Since 1938, we’ve been a mission with a rodeo that has brought heritage and entertainment to our community. Rodeo Austin is a year-round non-profit funded by a month-long real western experience held every March. Rodeo-goers get to do things they can do nowhere else including a ProRodeo, one-of-a kind concerts, carnival and a livestock show. All while raising millions for Texas kids. Come be a part of real Texas grit … live and hands-on!

THE STORY OF RODEO AUSTIN The sound of the clicking of horses’ hooves mixed with the comfort of laughter and light conversation. The smells of familiar fair food, dust in the air and being out in nature. The stimulating sights of bustling activity, live animals and true cowboys.

These are just a few of the sensations you will experience upon visiting Rodeo Austin, whether it’s your very first time or your 30th visit.

The multi-sensory experience of the Rodeo transports you away from the big-city experience of Austin into a rural wonderland, seamlessly bringing together the traditions of Texas and the quirkiness of Austin. The result is a history-packed yet modern Rodeo that is unlike any other in the country.

Rodeo Austin draws on its deep roots each year to put on an unforgettable, world-class event. What started as only a livestock show decades ago has made monumental steps to expand over the years. One of the reasons for Rodeo Austin’s incredible growth is its volunteers – individuals committed to coming out year after year to keep the show alive by committing their time and talent to Rodeo Austin. Volunteers help by working the show and encouraging others to make donations to support Rodeo Austin’s mission.

In the early 2000s, after more than 60 years in operation, Rodeo Austin underwent a massive growth period. It became the fastest growing ProRodeo and livestock show in the nation, taking its reach from a local livestock show to statewide. Rodeo Austin’s leadership was divided on the decision at the time, but the growth was accomplished in a way that was mindful of honoring the past. Today, the livestock show includes more than 8,000 entries from throughout the whole state of Texas and the ProRodeo is ranked one of the top 10 in North America.

With the organization’s growth came the need for more community support along with more engaging entertainment. A crew of nearly 1,100 volunteers along with donors and corporate sponsors came together to energize the need for bigger entertainment, more family-friendly activities and the larger attendance that filled the fairgrounds annually.

Perhaps one of the most important aspects of Rodeo Austin is the youth giving program. Rodeo Austin is passionately committed to empowering the next generation of Texas’ youth, providing $2 million to Texas youth annually. The scholarship program has been life-changing for many of the recipients, from one student working full time at a gas station to support his family, to another student who was hired to work at Facebook after a recruiter heard her story at one of the Rodeo Austin performances.

At Rodeo Austin, we believe it takes grit to grow the next generation. We accomplish this by staying focused on the western traditions that serve today as the foundation of each annual Fair & Rodeo. Come be a part of real Texas grit – live and hands on!

MEDIA BUY TELEVISION, RADIO, OUTDOOR & PRINT In 2020, Rodeo Austin took its new branding and promoted gritty fun and real western experiences to Austin and other surrounding markets. As in previous years, Rodeo Austin continued to use traditional advertising outlets – television, radio, digital, billboards and print. Before the 2020 events were cancelled, Rodeo Austin ran 645 television spots, 5,901 radio spots, 41 billboards (7 in Spanish), a handful of print ads and 51 light pole banners throughout downtown Austin. Rodeo Austin utilized digital ads and garnered over 8.46 million impressions before the cancellation.

NEW ADVENTURES IN ADVERTISING Rodeo Austin branched out from traditional advertising and invested in the platform called Octopus in 2020. Octopus Interactive is a video advertising platform inside Uber and Lyft vehicles. Tablets inside these vehicles have the Octopus platform which engages riders. Rodeo Austin received over 54,000 ad plays and 77,000 impressions through Octopus in February - March. On March 12, all Rodeo Austin events were cancelled due to COVID-19. That evening the Rodeo Austin marketing team worked with media buyer, The Davis Group, to stop all advertising.

WHAT'S TRENDING GRASSROOTS, SOCIAL MEDIA, INFLUENCERS Following the success of this strategy in 2019, Rodeo Austin invited over 40 Instagram influencers – some new and some returning – to attend Rodeo Austin on opening day.

As the influencers received their Rodeo tickets and swag in the mail, they tagged Rodeo Austin in over 30 Instagram stories, sharing their excitement for the upcoming event. Unfortunately, the influencers did not get to experience Rodeo Austin in 2020, but will be back for 2021!

Rodeo Austin expanded influencers' presence by inviting them to be judges at BBQ Austin. The influencers shared their experiences in the judging tent, the carnival and various team tents. Breaking the mold of typical influencers, Rodeo Austin invited @justaconstructionguy to attend BBQ Austin. He is a general contractor during the day and an influencer on the side. He is one of the most unique influencers on Instagram and has over 450,000 followers. @justaconstructionguy had a great time at BBQ Austin and shared over 20 Instagram stories of a BBQ filled day with his followers. The use of social media influencers once again reached new audiences and even had other influencers wanting to get in on the fun!

COVID-19 AFTERMATH What we do best, pull together

Strong character determines everything.

SPONSORSHIP Rodeo Austin is fortunate to have more than 50 corporate partners who believe in the mission of growing the next generation. Rodeo Austin staff works year-round with sponsors to build relationships as well as on and off-site promotions, branded activations at events, and custom sign exposure. On March 12th, all sponsor activations were in place and ready for Rodeo Austin to open. After the cancellation, the Rodeo Austin staff reached out to each sponsor to reconcile each partnership. More than 40% of Rodeo Austin sponsors chose to donate their sponsor contributions to the organization for 2020. Another 32% stayed committed to Rodeo Austin’s mission by rolling over their sponsorship to support the Fair & Rodeo in 2021.

Rodeo Austin continues to be extremely thankful to each of these corporate partners for the dedication to banding together.

LIVESTOCK Thousands of Texas students from across the state worked tirelessly on their show animals for the 2020 season. Unfortunately, due to the impacts of COVID-19, students, parents, teachers, and advisors were devastated to learn they would not have the opportunity to show at Rodeo Austin. Upon notice of the cancellation, the Livestock Department worked to communicate options for entry fee refunds. The 2020 Ultimate Scramble Championship was set to make history with the first-ever, all-girl division. At the time of cancellation, the Ultimate Scramble Committee had raised funds from 100 contributors within the community. Contributors were given the option for a full refund, rollover contribution to 2021, or donate the funds to Rodeo Austin. Seventy-three percent of contributors rolled over to 2021 or donated to Rodeo Austin.

RECORD BREAKING ENTRIES Junior Breeding Heifers – 1411, up 4.68% Junior Market Steers – 1274, up 8.87% Junior Market Lambs – 927, up 6.15% Junior Market Barrows – 1984, up 5.44%

OPERATIONS The Rodeo Austin operations team is the true definition of grit. The team is comprised of three fulltime staff members, several interns, many volunteers, and a few service vendors. This crew has the tough task of transforming the Travis County Expo Center grounds into Rodeo Austin's Fair & Rodeo in only three weeks. After spending countless hours working to open the gates to the public, the operations team quickly switched gears upon cancellation and began to tear down the Fairgrounds. Despite the Rodeo Austin office shifting to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, the operations team spent the following weeks physically removing equipment and items from the Travis County Expo Center and re-packing the Eddie Ledesma Center for next year's Fair & Rodeo.

TICKETING After the heart-breaking news of canceling the Fair & Rodeo, the ticketing department, comprised of two full time staff members, executed a refund program that allowed patrons to request a refund, rollover tickets to 2021 or donate the money to Rodeo Austin.

This included season tickets, Kick Open the Chutes, Fairgrounds admission tickets, as well as the everpopular Rodeo & Concert tickets. Staff members across all departments helped process approximately $2 million in ticket sales to 65% refunds, 16% rollovers and 9% donations. More than 2,000 man-hours were spent processing these requests and providing customer service for Rodeo Austin ticket buyers, all while working from home.

VENDORS At the time of cancellation, nearly 100 commercial, food and beverage vendors were set up on the Fairgrounds and ready to open to the public only 40 hours later. The Rodeo Austin Exhibits Department, consisting of one staff member, personally visited with each vendor and provided updates as they happened. Rodeo Austin volunteers jumped into action to help vendors pack their exhibits and move off the Fairgrounds. Rodeo Austin offered vendors the option for a full refund, the ability to roll over their exhibit space fees to 2021 or donate to Rodeo Austin’s general fund. Each vendor expressed their understanding of the situation at hand but remained optimistic for 2021.

STAY HOMEWORK SAFE RODEO AUSTIN OFFICIALLY BEGAN WORKING REMOTELY MARCH 24, 2020, WHEN CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIALS ISSUED THE STAY HOMEWORK SAFE ORDER IN LIGHT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

After tearing down the grounds of Rodeo Austin 2020, Rodeo Austin continued to monitor local news and recommendations from health officials. Many local governments began issuing the Stay at HomeWork Safe Order around the country. Rodeo Austin quickly began making preparations to work from home by equipping staff with remote access to the server and setting up phone trees to assist with refund processing for tickets, vendors, and livestock entries. Rodeo Austin took full advantage of the new phone technology implemented last year. The phone system is equipped with digital lines that staff can use directly from their laptops or personal cell phones, accommodating video conferencing and chat capabilities to stay in touch and continue working productively from home.

Largest Committee: Event Staff

On Saturday, March 14, 2020, on what would have been opening day of Rodeo Austin 2020, volunteers and staff banded together to tear down the Rodeo Austin grounds.

Everything was set up for opening day, but after the official cancellation by city and county officials on March 12, 2020, tear down efforts began among the uncertainty of what COVID-19 would bring to the city of Austin.

Volunteers spent the day tearing down tents, moving dirt from arenas and working with vendors to load out stages, merchandise and equipment.

Later that evening, volunteers, staff, vendors and contractors gathered together at the Rodeo Austin office's back porch for food and fellowship. Music by 100X Dance Hall favorite, One-Ton Country played with tips donated to the Rodeo Austin mission.

A Rodeo Austin merchandise table was set up for volunteers to have the opportunity to purchase official merchandise.

Proceeds from Rodeo Austin souvenirs go toward Rodeo Austin’s mission. Since the cancellation, official merchandise has been sold online and shipped to customers all over the country – including Montana and Georgia!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Rodeo Austin leadership transitioned meetings to virtual video conference calls to accommodate social distancing.

Due to the on-going pandemic affecting the May Board of Directors meeting and nominating for the 2020-2021 year, it was proposed to have all acting Executive Committee members continue into the 2020-2021 year. To do this, a majority vote had to be reached. On May 21st, all Board of Directors joined a video conference call to consider Amendment XIV regarding continuation of leadership in the event of a pandemic. The amendment passed with a majority vote.

Rodeo Austin's deepest roots are the volunteers who give their time, treasure and talent to the organization. To this, Rodeo Austin is grateful for their help in continuing to grow the next generation.
