The 2023 season of competition in The American Heartlands begins with the annual Wiley Hicks Jr Memorial Roping competition held in the ANC Arena of the Tri-state Exposition in Amarillo, Texas. The 14.5 and 13.5 classes were documented in full by round. Should any of the rounds be limited for viewers by YouTube, those videos will still be available to channel members and can also be viewed without restrictions on the American Heartlands Channel on Rumble.

White Deer, Texas is a thriving community located on US 60 between Amarillo and Pampa. I came here twice to mainly document the UPRA-sanctioned rodeos held each year that drew sellout crowds.
The rodeos are held during the annual Kickback Days celebration so I returned to document the other activities that go on each year as you can watch below.

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.

I do not have an image representing the community of Mitchell, Nebraska because I arrived just shortly before one of the 2022 PRCA Xtreme Roughstock events and then left after the rodeo. But I hope to be able to return someday to explore this part of Nebraska along the North Platte River. and the nearby Scotts Bluff National Monument. If you live in the area I would appreciate your suggestions about places and annual celebrations in the area to add to this page about the community!
You will find all the rodeo events from the Xtreme Roughstock event on my Rodeo playlist. It was a great competition and I hope you will enjoy the samples below.
I thought this was a great rodeo act! Listen to the audience's reactions.
This is the last segment of the full competition including the awards presentation at the end.
I would love to come back to Mitchell and explore the community and the people who live there. Explore with me in the #AmericanHeartlands! If you would like to offer any suggestions then pass them along here: Contact Us

I traveled to San Angelo to document one of the five largest pro rodeos in the USA, the San Angelo Rodeo & Stockshow sanctioned by PRCA.and features three weeks of rodeo events. I was there for seven days but rodeo events only on three of those so I took the opportunity to explore around some.
