Celebrate the National Day of The American Cowboy in the Cowboy Capital of the World, Bandera, TX

Bandera, Texas, May 22, 2014 (McKenzieNewsService.com) – There’s no better place to celebrate the American Cowboy than Bandera, Texas, the official Cowboy Capital of the World. Every year Bandera’s own Frontier Times Museum celebrates the National Day of the American Cowboy, a holiday that was established by the United States Congress to recognize this true American icon. This year’s celebration will be held on July 25th and July 26th at the Frontier Times Museum, 510 13th Street Bandera, Texas.

Activities begin Friday evening with a reception inducting great Texans into the museum’s Texas Heroes Hall of Honor. Saturday brings family fun on the museum’s grounds and western music to the museum’s Texas Trail Drivers Theatre. Museum doors are open 10:00 am to 4:30 pm. Afterwards head out to Mansfield Park for “The Fastest Horse in Texas” match races from 2 p.m. to 7:00 pm. It’s fast, furious and fun. A western marketplace will help you find your inner – and outer – cowboy with clothing, hats, jewelry, and artwork.

The Frontier Times Ranch Rodeo begins after the races at 8:00 pm. Teams of working cowboys and cowgirls compete in a series of events, including calf roping and bronco bustin,’ that challenges their ranching skills. Your little buckaroo can compete in the Mutton bustin’ and calf scramble. Ranch Radio, KRNH 92.3 will announce the winner of their popular horse give-away. Admission to the reception on Friday night is $35. Admission to the Match Races and Ranch Rodeo is $10 for adults; $5 for ages 6 to 17; 5 and under are free.
