Approximately 600 special needs children attended the Special Kids Day and Tour at the Humble Rodeo & BBQ Cook-off on Thursday, February 2 from 10:30 a.m. to Noon in the Humble Civic Center’s Pavilion.
Special needs children from Humble ISD were provided with lunch, a red commemorative T-shirt and fun activities including meeting and, in some cases, petting the stockyard animals, taken on a tour of the pavilion to see all the animals, getting their faces painted and were entertained by a rodeo clown.
