SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo was awarded the 2016 Large Indoor Rodeo of the Year by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association for an unprecedented 12th consecutive year.
The designation by the PRCA is considered to be the highest honor in the sport of rodeo worldwide because nominees and winners are voted on by PRCA rodeo contestants, contract personnel, committees and members.
The award was received in Las Vegas by San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo’s executive director & CEO Keith Martin, Chairman of the Board Joe Soules, president Cody Davenport, immediate past president Joe Hutchison and executive committee vice president Clint Swindall.

"It means so much to us that our peers in the industry honor us in this way. We accept this award on behalf of over 6,000 volunteers that are the heart and soul of our organization—they move in dirt, set fences, clean stalls, cook meals for contestants and greet patrons with a smile. They are irreplaceable, and their Texas hospitality is legendary," San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo executive director & CEO Keith Martin said.
The 68th annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo will be held on February 9-26, 2017 at the AT&T Center/Freeman Coliseum grounds.
