It all started as a simple 4th of July fund-raiser.  In 1925, Walter and Audrey Crider hosted a rodeo to benefit the Hunt School P.T.A.  The guests of Heart of The Hills Inn (now a girls camp) and some folks who had summer homes wanted a place to learn folk dances.  A wooden dance floor was built on the lower banks of the Guadalupe River on the Crider property. The rodeo, dance and barbeque were held each 4th of July.  In the early 1930's this became a weekly event during the summer months.
