The Caprock Roundup is an annual July Celebration held in Claude, Texas. The events include a parade and activities with vendors on the courthouse square, a WRCA Youth Ranch Rodeo, Mutton Bustin', and Chicken Chase. My first visit was in 2023 but I documented only the parade and youth rodeo. I returned in 2024 and tried to document all the events I possibly could.

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.
