2025 Cowboy Carnival Event Results and Donors
What a beautiful sunny day it was for the Hyattville Cowboy Carnival on Sunday, May 25! The crowd of nearly 450 people were able to enjoy the Quilt Show, Kate Richardson’s “Cooking on the Trail” Sawmill and Hunting Camps of the Big Horns and the competition events.. What a hit the expanded “Kids Play Area Activities” was this year thanks to the Gerstner family and friends. They even had a snow cone machine!!! New this year was the surprise 90th birthday cake celebration for area rancher, Jim Caines. Will Berg and Family’s, noon time country music program sponsored by ANB, was well received by the large crowd of people as they enjoyed that BBQ meal with home made pies and ice cream. The Hyattville Cowboy Carnival Fundraiser Live Auction and Raffle ticket drawings culminated a fun filled day for the large crowd.!
