The Jackie Perkins Memorial Ranch Rodeo in Coffeyville, Kansas, is a celebration of tradition and community, and those values are deeply felt by all who attend. The WRCA-sanctioned ranch rodeo in Coffeyville is the last before the World Championship and is only open to unqualified teams.
Since its founding in 2008 by Jackie Perkins, Coffeyville has been the perfect home for the ranch rodeo, thanks to its excellent arena and central location. The event holds a special place in the hearts of attendees and those who knew Perkins, whose legacy continues to be cherished. Perkins’ passion for ranching and love for the lifestyle were obvious and motivated her to put on the ranch rodeo annually. Perkins lived just 12 miles from the rodeo grounds and ran cattle with her family. For more about Perkins story, see the WRCA article Jackie Perkins’ Legacy of Strength.

I was elementary school age when I was totally impressed with the number of watermelons on hand at the beginning of August in Dalhart, Texas for the "World's Largest Barbeque Feed". The XIT Rodeo & Reunion is held annually on the first weekend in August.

Yes, I have been here for a week during the Cheyenne Frontier Days. The town is chock-full of history, and I barely scratched the surface of all the great attractions that can be explored during my first visit. After all, it was Cheyenne Frontier Days week and packed to the gills with visitors attending the Rodeos and other events going on at Frontier Park and other locations in and around town. Most of the museums and places of note were too crowded to horn my way in. I will leave those for an off-season visit. I did find some things you can check out anytime, and street entertainment is available during the summer season.
