17th Annual Cowboy Carnival - 2021 Edition

We're looking forward to seeing everyone at Hyattville Wyoming’s 17th Annual Cowboy Carnival, Sunday, May 30th, 2021!

If you haven't experienced this before, make your plans to join us in friendly Hyattville for our 17th Annual Cowboy Carnival on Sunday, May 30th, during Memorial Day Weekend – fun for the whole family, entertainment, and a home-cooked BBQ Lunch! Funds raised from this event support our operating and maintenance expenses for the following calendar year.

We have two events to start the day! This year we've added a new event - a 5K Run - Walk, with a Kids loop.  Registration for this event starts at 9:30 and the event starts at 10.  Awards will be granted for the first place men's and women's finishers

This year, the Sharpshooter contest begins at 10:00 at the old air strip on the south side of town - on the gravel road that heads to Ten Sleep.  It will be marked and obvious.  Bring your own gun(s); some events have entry fees. This event has really exploded in popularity and undergone a fun update!

Then head over to the Community Center: 308 S. Main Street. Gate Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children or $25 for an immediate family. The gate fee includes a delicious BBQ lunch, entertainment, the rewards of our famous Pie Contest - and it's good for the entire day!

Next up, within the Community Center Building, visit the Book Sale, Quilt Show, and Photo Contest.  There will be Hyattville History displays. Dozens of handmade quilts from all over the Big Horn Basin will be on display in the main building, and these works of art are treasures to see. Anyone interested in entering a quilt can drop it off at a designated location one week before the Carnival, where they will be returned afterward.

Lunch is served at 12:30 and includes beef, lamb, pork, and a selection of side dishes that always includes corn on the cob.  This is also the perfect time to enjoy live music by this year's entertainer!  We are finalizing arrangements and will announce entertainment soon.  After lunch and maybe a dance, take time to view and bid on the items for the Live Auction, or pick up a few new plants.  This is also when we start serving up all those wonderful entries from the Pie Contest for dessert in the cafeteria.

The Chauncey McMillan Memorial Sheep Dog Competition is slated for 1 p.m. on the main grounds and always draws a big crowd. Competitors bring their dogs from across Wyoming and Montana, and it features two classes: one for ranch dogs who have never entered a sanctioned dog trial before, and another for dogs who have previously competed.  Entry fees are $35 per dog, and only dogs entered in the competition will be allowed on the grounds with a leash.

Kids’ events span the day throughout the activity areas. As part of the new 5K Run-Walk, there will also be a Kids K loop (this starts at 11 am).  >>Read more about the Kids Events
