The Fall Ranch Rodeo
Eight teams of working cowboys from ranches between here and Graham, competing in the jobs they do every week anyway: sorting, doctoring, branding and the wild cow milking that everyone stays for.
There's no prize money. The winners get a buckle and the losers buy the next round of Dr Pepper. Every canned good at the gate goes to the Weatherford food pantry.
- Slack starts at 9:00 AM, main event at 1:00 PM
- Gate admission is two canned goods
- Team entries close Friday, October 9
- Dinner on the grounds at noon, $8 a plate
