He said protocols are taken when bad weather is anticipated to ensure the animals and people are safe. Among the main priorities include clearing walkways, according to Brockman.Sign up for NBC DFW newslettersKeith Houchin, the owner of Texas Skillet, has spent 21 years as a vendor with the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.
“It’s been hectic during the cold weather. Our lines freeze up, so we’re toting water in. The girls are freezing up front, but they’re keeping in good spirits. They’re doing a good job,” Houchin said. “It’s to be expected we’re going to get snow and ice at some point during the rodeo. We always do.”
