The Shooting Contest” of the Cowboy Carnival was, unfortunately, cancelled due to muddy conditions from the rain.
New to the carnival this year and enjoyed by many enthusiasts was Cherokee Jackson's demonstration of "Basic Colt Training" In addition the Todd Jones “Packing Demo” again attracted a large crowd of spectators and participants. Everyone seemed to enjoy this new “hands on” demonstrations held out in the pasture next to the sheep trials. Another highlight of the day was the Live Music presented by the Hyattville Communities’ upcoming musical dual of the 13-year-old twins, Liam and Layne Jordan. Their repertoire of music kept the crowd entertained from 12-2 as they enjoyed their lunch. ANB sponsored them as well as took admission at the main gate.
The History Rooms featuring "Cattle Trails of the West and Wyoming" and the Jack Turner Hereford Ranch and The Writings of Helen S. Turner Wri saw a steady stream of visitors as locals presented in person presentations enhancing the displays.
The Vendor Tables, Book and Plant Sales along with the T-shirt Sales drew a lot of interest from the crowd.
And the Kids Activities kept them busy throughout the day with their 1K race, Carl Jones’ Petting Zoo, Bingo, and the BB Gun Shoot along with the original school merry-go-round, swing set, and monkey bars.
Our culminating event of the HCC Fundraising Cowboy Carnival was the Live Auction with everyone’s favorite auctioneer, Bob Herman. He and Denise, his wife, certainly know how to keep the crowd involved and entertained. Thanks to all the donors and those that purchased these items, it was a strong and competitive day for the wide variety of items. A sincere thank you to all who donated and purchased the items of the auction.
Our thanks go out to Medicine Lodge Archaeological Campground and Brooks Jordan, the regional States Park Manager for this area, for the tents along with selling the beverages that were donated by Pepsi. Thank you to Mama Z’s Pizza, Tom and Nancy Zieroff, for donating the sides served with the lunch and all the local women who baked those delicious homemade pies and served with ice cream.
And a most sincere thanks are extended to all that donated items, food, their time and attended the 2024 HCC Cowboy Carnival. Next year’s 21st Annual Hyattville Cowboy Fundraising Carnival celebration will be Sunday, May 25, 2025.
