The parade is presented by the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ Houston Metro Go Texan Committee Conroe/Willis/The Woodlands Subcommittee and the Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce.
 
This year Brady F. Carruth, Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ Chairman of the Board, serves as the Grand Marshal for the parade.

 
Carruth has deep ties to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™. His father, Allen H. “Buddy” Carruth, was a Rodeo President and served as Chairman of the Board from 1979 to 1981. His mother, Ethel Carruth, was a past Chairman and passionate supporter of the Rodeo’s School Art Committee.
 
Carruth first became a member of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ in 1970. He joined the Lamb Auction Committee in 1982, working his way through the volunteer ranks to become Chairman of the committee in 1996.
 
In 1998, he was elected as Rodeo Vice President, serving as officer in charge of the Ladies’ Go Texan, Ladies’ Season Box, School Art, Special Children’s and Western Art committees. Carruth has been a member of the Rodeo’s Executive Committee since 2013 and began his tenure as Chairman of the Board in 2020.
 
“It is truly an honor to be named as the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo chairman of the board,” said Carruth. “The Rodeo has a powerful impact on Texas students, and I look forward to working with the volunteers and staff to continue the success of this great organization.”
 
Carruth currently serves as the President of Gulf Coast Capital Corp. and is heavily involved with several Houston-area organizations. He and his wife, Zane, live in Houston.
