National Cattle Congress
Join us every year in September for our Annual Fair or rent a venue for your events! With over 5 to choose from, we will work with you to make your event a success! Buddy Holly would have had his 3rd show here on Feb 9, 1959 but made his last stop in Clear Lake. We have 3 music venues including the Hippodrome, Electric Park Ballroom and Pavilion. For more information, email us, visit our website or give us a call.
