FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | HUNT, Texas (May 12, 2026) In less than a week, Criders Rodeo & Dancehall will officially reopen for the first time since the devastating July 4, 2025 floods that forever changed Hunt, Texas. On Sunday, May 17, hundreds will gather on the banks of the Guadalupe on the Crider’s dancefloor once again for Plant the Guadalupe, a benefit concert sponsored by Security State Bank & Trust headlined by Texas music icon Gary P. Nunn.

This event is more than a concert but a celebration of what rebuilding Kerr County looks like as the community comes together with music, laughter and camaraderie.

The concert will raise funds for the San Antonio Botanical Garden TREES initiative, a five-year effort to restore 50,000 native trees along the Guadalupe River.

THIS MARKS THE FIRST MAJOR EVENT IN HUNT SINCE THE FLOOD. Hosted at one of the hardest hit locations devastated by the 2025 flood, CRIDER’S RODEO & DANCEHALL WILL REOPEN after 10 months of restoration and celebrate its 101st anniversary with a concert investing in the future of the land and people who call this place home.
