To All Crosby Fair & Rodeo Members:
We wanted to make all of the members aware of the new events and changes this year for the 2005 Crosby Fair & Rodeo.
In an effort to make this year one of the best years ever, the Crosby Fair & Rodeo Association has added some new events and made some changes in hopes to make this year at the Fair & Rodeo an enjoyable event for the whole community. Crosby Fair & Rodeo is always in need of volunteers. Please let somebody know if you would like to help out this year.
