This is an annual show in Pawnee, Oklahoma on the first Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in May. I found out about this event from some of the steam engine owners at the Major County Threshing Bee 🚜 in Fairview, Oklahoma in 2021, and I was not disappointed in this event as it is the largest in the state!
It had turned out to be a very muddy location after 4 inches of rain but that did not stop the show altogether. I have just started publishing videos here we begin with Saturday morning by firing up the boilers.
Take a look at the steam threshing, gas tractors, gas engines, steam-powered sawmill, shingle mill, antique line shaft machine shop, and blacksmith shop. Come check out the corn mill grinding, farm life and domestic display, flea market, and arts and crafts show.

I have family roots in Big Timber, Montana that date back to the late 1800s. As I was following up on family history, I found out there was a weekly PRCA-sanctioned rodeo series in progress during the week I was in town. It turned out to be a good one with Forrie Smith who plays Lloyd Pierce on the Yellowstone TV series making a guest appearance. It was great to spend some quality time with him!
I am currently publishing videos from one of the weekly rodeos every Saturday which started with a Ranch Bronc Riding competition.

The annual rodeos are hosted by the Will Rogers Range Riders located in Amarillo Texas at their own facilities. I have documented a number of different rodeos in the arena as well. I will share a few video clips below from some of the actions going on during the annual events and others. I do not have a playlist for all the videos but you can see most of them listed under this hashtag. #WRRR
Here is some Steer Wrestling action in 2018.

The XIT Mud Drags were held for two days away from the XIT Rodeo And Reunion grounds in Dalhart, Texas The events drew large and enthusiastic crowds despite the hot weather and blazing sun. The PA system was horrible but I could not get any closer at the time. That's just the breaks I have to deal with when attempting to document live public events with no assistance available.
There are six videos in this series and you can find them all on the Aircraft, Cars, Motorcycles, Tractors & Trucks video playlist. The video above is at the start of the competition and the ones below are from the end.
