The American Heartlands cover most of the land region in the United States. People who live in large urban areas refer to it as "fly-over country" when you hear them talk about rural areas in the media. What if they could sit and watch videos about places, people, and communities, that they depend on, without a lot of slick production and hype?
Real unscripted people and events or tours of the local attractions, adventures, and natural areas are opportunities I seek as I explore The American Heartlands and share my findings with you!

I have lived longer in the Amarillo area than anywhere else so I guess I consider it to be home. There are tons of places, events, cultures, people, and history to cover but I can only add to this page when I find the time.

The ABC Pro Rodeo Week is held the last week of March at the Mallet Event Center in Levelland, Texas. There is a BBQ cook-off and four rodeos including the matinee on Saturday. My schedule did not allow me to document all the public activities giving me a good reason for visiting again!
I have started publishing videos on Saturdays and will share some examples below starting with 78 kids trying out for berths in the Mutton Bustin' events during the rodeos. The tryouts were held on Saturday before rodeo week and the top 30 riders were selected to compete in the rodeos.

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.
