The annual event, located at Waller County Fair 21988 FM 359 in Hempstead, is a product of the labor of love from the Waller County Fair Association (WCFA), a non-profit organization that pours its heart into promoting a productive and wholesome lifestyle for the county's youth.
Since its inception in 1945, the Waller County Fair and Rodeo has evolved into a cherished local tradition, expanding the range of activities, community facilities, and, most notably, scholarship opportunities for the children and youth of Waller County. Every year, the Fair and Rodeo comes together thanks to the invaluable contributions of numerous volunteers who help create a lively and enriching environment.
Beyond being a festival of fun and thrills, the Waller County Fair and Rodeo also drastically contributes to the community. The event is instrumental in providing academic and vocational scholarships, channeling its resources to mold future generations with strong character, excellent work ethics, sportsmanship, and a robust sense of personal responsibility.
This year's lineup introduces events packed with action and education, promising entertainment for all age groups. Highlights include Youth Rodeo, cattle and livestock showcases, and a wide range of activities, from Mutton Bustin’ and welding competitions to a cornhole tournament. The festivities peak with the CPRA Finals Rodeo, a must-see for cowboy lifestyle enthusiasts.
