Butler Longhorn Museum Q & A
The Butler Longhorn Museum held a Q and A session for some of it’s supporters on
April 9th. The session took place at Butlers Courtyard in League City. Not many
questions were asked but Jennifer Wycoff - van der Wal, curator of the museum
was prepared to have the answers. She had in attendance Longhorn Breeders, a
Galveston County Historian, elected officials, future elected officials, even
family members of some of the Italians that immigrated to League City last
century. The main issue seemed to be “When will the City show real support so
that the museum will have some credibility?”
Speakers at Butler Courtyard’s 4/9/07 Butler Longhorn Museum Event included:
“Walking Man” Bill Callahan, Houston Live Sock & Rodeo Steer Auction Committee,
Friends of BLM-Longhorn Council, Fundraiser, Auctioneer; Kaso Kety, Texas
Longhorn Breeders Association Director Central/Eastern US, Butler Longhorn
Breeders Association Pres, Friends of BLM Vice President Longhorn Council, Larry
Taylor State Representative, non- profit Auctioneer; Alecya Gallaway, U of H
Historian, Butler Family Historian; Jennifer Wycoff Curator/Director of Butler
Longhorn Museum; Nancy & Ronnie Richards owners of Butler’s Courtyard, Board of
Directors Chamber of League City of League City; Janice Dunnin owner Butlers
Courtyard; Genevieve & Marvin Weyer Texas Rodeo Hall of Fame Inductees, Bette
Specion, President of the friends of the Butler Longhorn Museum, and
“Misslettie” The Singing Cow Girl.
The event was a tremendous success as a gathering with the fine people of League
City and other States. We did not plan the event to be a fund raiser, rather an
informational exchange for the League City Council Members, Chamber of Commerce
Members and citizens. With the support of Ann Hacker of Black Rose Steel, the
citizens and local business we quickly had an auction in place and raised $5000,
00 for exhibits. I sincerely appreciate the support of the citizens of our
community participating in the event and all the above mention volunteers and
donors.
