Attendance through Saturday totaled roughly 2.1 million people, slightly lower than previous record-setting years, said Chris Boleman, president and CEO of the event, though not surprising given that people are still bouncing back from the pandemic.

“I missed the funnel cakes and the fried oreos,” Kirk said. “And the sausage on the stick — definitely still something I dream about on a yearly basis.” The lower attendance numbers were not surprising given that people are still bouncing back from the COVID-19 pandemic, said Boleman. Some people remain hesitant to spend time in crowds, plus event organizers encouraged people to stay home if they were feeling unwell. Organizers were very pleased with the turnout.
The Houston event supports Texas youth with scholarships and promotes agriculture and Western heritage in a family-friendly environment, attracting local visitors and people from around the country, Boleman said.
