Earlier this month, we were informed that Robert Duvall can no longer attend the Bobby Norris Roundup for Autism events due to a filming obligation overseas. While we are thrilled at another Duvall blockbuster, we are saddened we can no longer announce his participation in the Parade, Celebrity Rodeo, and Pegasus Ball.
Mr. Duvall regrets that he cannot attend and has sent a special video-taped message to be played for guests at the Pegasus Ball which we have provided a link to below. We are excited at the participating Celebrities, including Temple Grandin, Miss Texas Ashley Melnick, and Justin McBride, who will participate in the various Roundup events throughout the weekend.
We hope to see you there!
