Walker County Area Go Texan Committee

Walker County Area Go Texan Committee Walker County Area Go Texan Committee is a non-profit organization benefiting the youth of Walker County in support of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo

The Walker County Area Go Texan, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization, can trace its roots back to 1973, when Buck Thomason served as the first Ambassador and started the local committee. The Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo (HSLR) is the umbrella organization that presides over each Area Go Texan committee across the state. The Walker County Area Go Texan committee (WCAGT) is committed to serving

the youth of Walker County through annual events and fundraisers. Money raised by the WCAGT goes toward providing scholarships for local students living in the Walker County area. Students must apply and meet certain criteria to be considered for scholarships. Scholarships may be used at any four-year public or private university or technical school. Students must commit to completing volunteer hours. It is not a requirement to be involved in FFA, 4-H, or the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for the WCAGT scholarship. For more information on the scholarship application process, please contact a WCAGT committee member. The WCAGT committee is best known for its annual Crawfish Boil, held in May each year at the Walker County Fairgrounds in Huntsville, TX. Started in 1995 by Lifetime Member, Jerry Ellisor, the crawfish boil has been one of the most successful events to support the youth of Walker County. Individual tickets and VIP table sponsorships to this ALL YOU CAN EAT feast are sold through pre-sale only. So, be sure to contact a committee member ahead of time to purchase tickets or become a sponsor. If you are interested in volunteering with the committee to better serve the youth of Walker County please contact us!

What an incredible night at the 32nd Annual Walker County Area Go Texan Crawfish Boil Scholarship Fundraiser!

From the bottom of our hearts, the Walker County Area Go Texan Committee would like to THANK everyone who came out, bought tickets, donated, volunteered, and supported our event.

Because of your generosity and continued support, we were proud to award $50,000 in local scholarships to deserving students from Huntsville High School, New Waverly High School, Alpha Omega Academy, and Branded for Christ this year.

A very special THANK YOU to The Big E-Z Crawfish & Oyster Bar for serving up an amazing meal — including almost 5,000 lbs of crawfish, 300 lbs of fried catfish, and all the fixings! Your hard work and incredible food helped make the evening one to remember.

We are truly grateful for the support of our community, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees who make this event possible year after year. Thank you for helping us invest in the future of Walker County students!

Okay y’all… we had a few last-minute changes, which means a few tables just opened up for our Walker County Area Go Texan Crawfish Boil 🦞🤠

And it’s truly first come, first served.

$400 for a table of 8 — grab your crew, your coworkers, your “we’ve been needing a night out” group and come have some fun while supporting something that actually matters 🎓

The forecast is calling for sunshine and 73°… I mean, that sounds like the start of a country song if I’ve ever heard one 😜

And let’s be real… it’s payday 💁‍♀️
What better way to spend it than a great night out that directly supports Walker County youth through scholarships and agriculture programs?

Message us to grab one of the remaining tables before they’re gone!

There’s nothing better than watching our community come together to support the future of Walker County 💙🤠

As the Walker County Area Go Texan Committee, our mission is to promote Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, agriculture, and the next generation of leaders through scholarship opportunities right here at home.

Because of the incredible support from our community, we were able to commit $40,000 in local scholarships last year, along with one $20,000 HLSR scholarship—and this year, we’ve pledged up to $50,000 in local scholarships. 🙌

Our annual Crawfish Boil is coming up on the first Saturday in May, and we are looking for student volunteers, adult volunteers, and community members who want to serve.

This is a great opportunity for middle school and high school students to begin earning volunteer hours with our committee, which is one of the requirements for scholarship eligibility, while also giving back to agriculture and our local youth programs.

Whether you can help cook, serve, sell tickets, set up, clean up, or simply lend a hand wherever needed, we would love to have you join us.

It takes a village to build scholarships, support students, and keep agriculture thriving in Walker County. Comment below or send us a message if you’d like to help at the Crawfish Boil! 🦞🎓
