HOUSTON – Rodeo Houston icon Leon Coffee is stepping away from being a barrel man and clown after 31 years, but he said he will continue to be a part of the event and carry on with his mission to make people happy. “My rodeo career in Houston is the highlight of my career. Not everybody can get a really good rodeo. But, when you get them it takes a lot to keep them,” Leon said. He will take his last barrel ride on Sunday. But, he will still be part of the rodeo and be making people laugh.
