The 2014-15 Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo Sweethearts were named last night. The tryouts were held on Wednesday, February 26, 2014, at the Extraco Events Center.
The selection of the Sweethearts is based on personal interviews, personality, congeniality, poise and communications skills. There were 109 girls vying for a coveted Sweetheart spot.(See below for a complete list of the new Sweethearts.)
“The selection process for identifying the Sweethearts is never easy,” commented Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo President/CEO Wes Allison. “All of the applicants are strong contenders but we are very excited about this remarkable group of young ladies that will represent our Fair & Rodeo this next year.”
Sweethearts assist the Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo scheduled for October 2-11 by distributing rodeo programs, presenting awards for numerous events such as the Livestock Show, Mutton Bustin’ and more. Year-round duties include representing the Fair & Rodeo at parades, festivals, events and fundraisers/benefits in the Waco-McLennan County area.
The primary purpose of the Sweetheart Program is to promote, support and represent the Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo. This goal is accomplished by selling discounted Fair & Rodeo tickets and/or
sponsorships, serving as public relations ambassadors for the Fair & Rodeo and volunteering 100 hours of community service.
The Extraco Events Center, home of the Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo, is the center of entertainment in Central Texas. Its mission is to produce events for education, entertainment and
agricultural experiences while giving back through youth scholarships. The premier facilities host over 225 events with an attendance of 420,000 and a $40 million economic impact annually. The
