Comanche Roundup rodeo history and weather impact noted

The article recalls the Comanche Roundup and the Greater Hames Carnival in Fort Worth with heavy crowds and a three inch rain on the second night. It mentions a $5,000 rain policy canceled after premiums learned, and ties the rodeo’s origins to Comanche First Monday customs and local roping clubs.
