After two years, the Texas Bear Round-up makes its Corona comeback on Wednesday, March 23. And bouncing back this year is, in some ways, a miracle.
Wayne Davis, president of the Dallas Bears which hosts the event, said it was very possible TBRU could have been gone forever after the 2020 event was shut down — along with most of the U.S. — at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We plan to welcome people back with a deep sense of gratitude,” Davis said by phone. “Had people not been generous when we had to shut it down in 2020, we would have had to file for bankruptcy to pay for the contracts we owed.
Those people who donated their fees and the business partners who worked with us are the reason we are here today.” TBRU was ready to go in 2020 but COVID restrictions were hitting fast.
