(San Antonio, Texas) – Company founder H.B. “Pat” Zachry’s legacy still inspires ZCC team members to perform their work with quality and distinction and to give back to the communities where they live and work. His commitment to community support played an integral role in the founding of the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo in 1949.

More than 50 years later, Zachry’s exemplary work in support of community is still being honored through his induction into the San Antonio Livestock Exposition’s (SALE) Hall of Fame.

This year the committee selected William Cunningham, former farm and ranch editor with the San Antonio Express-News; Norm Nevins, former SALE executive committee chairman; and H.B. Zachry.

The San Antonio Livestock Show & Rodeo established the Hall of Fame in 1998 to recognize volunteers who made outstanding contributions to the organization and the field of agriculture. More than 4,000 volunteers run the Junior Livestock show and Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association’s (PRCA) rodeo in San Antonio, which is a nationwide top-ten event.
