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.

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 have been going to the annual Bob Wills Day celebration in Turkey, Texas, off and on for several decades, and heard there would be a parade for the 2026 celebration.
There is a route from Amarillo to Turkey that I have always loved to drive, instead of the two other popular routes. The video below gives you a quick take from my dashcam covering the 121 miles, and ends with a nice sunset.
You can always see my latest videos on YouTube Dusty Reins Stories, and Rumble American Heartlands.
