I documented as much as I could of The 1836 Chuckwagon Races 2022 held on the Diamond B Ranch near Neches, Texas. It was the tenth year of celebrating Texas's revolutionary history with workshops, demonstrations, trail rides, mounted games, mounted shooting, open pasture roping, bronc riding, barrel racing, horse racing, and yes, several classes of chuckwagon races.

Pawhuska is a city in northeastern Oklahoma known for its Native American culture. Photos, tribal objects and artwork at the Osage Nation Museum trace the history of the area’s Osage people. Built in 1926, the wood-planked Swinging Bridge hangs over Bird Creek. A trail connects fish-filled Bluestem Lake to scenic Bluestem Falls. To the north, the vast Tallgrass Prairie Preserve is home to bison, deer, and coyotes. ― Google

Here is a short visit to the Osage Nation Visitors Center,

I am always looking for stories related to the American Bison in The American Heartlands and while I was exploring Pawhuska, Oklahoma I discovered there is the Old West Buffalo Company just a few miles west of town. Not only do they raise Bison but they also allow the public to visit the ranch and interact with them up close.

Junior Team Roping
I found out about the annual Spicer Gripp Memorial Roping in Hereford, Texas from a viewer who said it was a high-quality competition with a mixture of invitational and open events for amateurs and professionals alike. That was a great suggestion and I am providing a few samples here of the action in the arena and on the grounds during the several days of competition held on the first weekend in August.
