Big Red Barn founder recognized by San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo

(Seguin) -- The rural heartland of Seguin and Guadalupe County did not go unnoticed during this year’s San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo held Feb. 9-26. The Texas Agricultural Education & Heritage Center a.k.a. The Big Red Barn and its founder Wilfred Bartoskewitz were recently awarded and named as a stock show Community Champion.

The local non-profit was touted for having an outstanding positive impact in the community not only in Seguin but throughout the region.

Neal Brodbeck, a member of the Community Champions committee, says the award signifies Bartoskewitz’s leading efforts to preserve the world of agriculture. Thanks to a land donation by the fifth-generation farmer and his wife Betty, a steering committee was put into motion in 2003 to begin the Ag Center which today displays and hosts events to help “create the farming and ranching experience.” Champion, pg. 3
