Hedrick was an effective PR man for FHSU Rodeo and propelled the Rodeo Club to one of the fastest-growing clubs on campus in 1965. From FHSU’s first rodeo in 1966 through the early 1970s, Hedrick helped provide practice and rodeo livestock, and served as the FHSU Rodeo bullfighter and rodeo clown, even after graduating. He remains a strong supporter of FHSU rodeo.
