In 1952, four men traveled on horseback from Brenham, Texas, to raise awareness of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™. Today, more than 2,000 trail riders partake in the Rodeo’s signature tradition each year. Riders hit the trail in an attempt to recreate the Old West, and in doing so, find a common ground that links us all to the Rodeo.
Be a part of history and support the 10 trail rides as they cross the great state of Texas toward their destination, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

The Banshees of Inisherin (Los espíritus de la isla) estuvo entre los otros grandes ganadores de la noche.
Los actores irlandeses Kerry Condon y Barry Keoghan ganaron como mejor actriz y actor de reparto, mientras que la película fue elegida filme británico del año.
El director Martin McDonagh dijo: “Hacer una película tan triste no debería haber sido tan divertido, pero lo fue gracias [al elenco]”.
Barry Keoghan, nacido en Dublín, dedicó su premio de actor de reparto a “los niños del área de donde vengo que sueñan con ser algo”.
En su discurso de aceptación, Kerry Condon le dijo a McDonagh: “Gracias por todos los papeles que me has dado a lo largo de mi carrera. Me hacen sentir muy orgullosa de ser una mujer irlandesa”.
La película biográfica de Elvis Presley de Baz Luhrmann fue otra gran ganadora, llevándose a casa cuatro premios: mejor casting, diseño de vestuario, maquillaje y peluquería, y mejor actor principal.
Austin Butler, quien interpreta al legendario cantante, dijo en su discurso de aceptación: “Esto es verdaderamente extraordinario. Para mis compañeros nominados, estoy asombrado de ustedes. Estoy muy agradecido por todos estos momentos que hemos podido pasar juntos.”
Añadió: “Quiero agradecer a la familia Presley, no puedo agradecerles lo suficiente por su amor. Espero haberlos hecho sentir orgullosos”.
La hija de Elvis, Lisa Marie Presley, falleció el mes pasado, poco después de que la película triunfara en los Globos de Oro.
Cate Blanchett fue nombrada mejor actriz por su actuación en Tar, en la que interpreta a una directora de orquesta..
“Estas notables actuaciones rompen el mito de que la experiencia de las mujeres es monolítica”, dijo en su discurso de aceptación.
Carey Mulligan fue anunciada incorrectamente como la ganadora de la mejor actriz de reparto antes de que se corrigiera a Condon.
El actor sordo Troy Kotsur, quien ganó un Bafta el año pasado por Coda, estaba anunciando al ganador usando lenguaje de señas y un intérprete cuando ocurrió la confusión. El error fue editado de la transmisión posterior en BBC One.
Everything Everywhere All At Once (Todo al mismo tiempo en todas partes), una de las que más sonaba para ganar en los Oscar, apenas se llevó el premio de mejor montaje mientras que Pinocchio de Guillermo del Toro se llevó mejor largometraje animado y Aftersun, mejor debut británico del año.
Navalny ganó el premio al mejor documental, y la productora Odessa Rae aprovechó su discurso de aceptación para rendir homenaje al periodista de investigación Christo Grozev, quién no pudo estar en la ceremonia debido a “un riesgo de seguridad pública”.
Grozev, quien aparece en la película sobre el envenenamiento del crítico del Kremlin Alexei Navalny, dijo la semana pasada que la policía le había recomendado no asistir al evento.

Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) from around the state will test their skills in medical operations, search and rescue, fire suppression, incident command, and hazmat recognition. Every year, more than 300 participants and volunteers contribute to the success of this event.
In 2022, CERT membership grew to more than 47,000 trained volunteers. Throughout the year, CERT volunteers assisted with community events, drills, and exercises with first responders and emergency managers.
“This training helps increase our community’s resilience and empowers individuals to be a force multiplier for first responders and local government when a large disaster occurs” said Harris County Citizen Corps Director Mark Sloan. “CERT members are essential to keeping our communities safe.”
To be a CERT member, individuals must complete an extensive eight-week course, taught by first responders, to improve their proficiency in emergency preparedness basics that can be used in their homes, workplaces, and communities.
For information about Harris County Citizen Corps go to www.harriscountycitizencorps.com. News and updates are also available on Facebook @HarrisCountyCitizensCorps.
As part of a broader gun-safety campaign rollout, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg joined with law enforcement and community partners Thursday to announce her office will distribute free gun safes for residents to use at home and in their vehicles.
“Safely storing firearms is critical to keep them from falling into the hands of criminals or our children,” Ogg said at a news conference hosted by Congregation Beth Israel. “These types of partnerships have let us take action in a very positive way.”
District Attorney’s Office representatives will give away the gun safes in addition to gun locks and safety information they already distribute at various monthly meetings held by the Houston Police Department. Ogg credited Academy Sports + Outdoors for partnering on the latest initiative and thanked Houston City Council Member Edward Pollard for providing funding for the first 1,000 safes.
Sixty-three people have been killed in the first 45 days of this year in Harris County, many by firearms, Ogg said. She noted that in 2022 firearms became the leading cause of death in children younger than 18 nationwide and that houses of worship have been breached. Locally, guns are stolen from vehicles at an alarming rate, the district attorney and other speakers said.
“If you can’t afford a gun safe for your car, we’ve got one for you,” Ogg said. “Lock up your guns. Together we can do this. It is preventable.”
The announcement came as part of a joint effort to reduce the number of unsecured guns in Harris County. In addition to a website, houstongunsafety.org, and gun-safety classes, traditional and digital billboards on freeways and near neighborhoods, in both English and Spanish, are bringing the message of gun safety to area residents. The digital billboards will be up through 2023. 
Survivor Marentha Sargent emphasized the preventability of tragedies stemming from gun violence, and Houston City Council Member Abbie Kamin championed the collaborative nature of preventing easy access to the weapons.
Partners of the District Attorney’s Office are Congregation Beth Israel and the Minaret Foundation; Houston Police Department; Harris County Sheriff’s Office; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the Houston branch of the FBI; Houston Mayor’s Office; Moms Demand Action; and Clear Channel Outdoor.
