The 76th Annual Texas Cowboy Reunion was held in Stamford, Texas June 28-July 1 2006. Stamford has a rich western ranch heritage with the numerous ranches in the area, which is approximately 40 miles north of Abilene, TexasDuring the four day cowboy tournament, area cowboys and cowgirls from throughout the region competed in numerous roping and riding events for trophy saddles, cash prizes, and coveted belt buckles. The western fans in attendance experienced close hand the skills of these ranch cowboys. During the rodeo, the Hardin Simmons Cowboy Band performed to the tune of the western action.In conjunction to the nightly rodeo performances there was an cowboy old timers reunion, fiddling contest, cowboy poetry, and chuckwagon cook-off in addition to a multitude of other western activities.I've included music and yodeling from the talented western musician Jill Jones. She performed at the Cowboy Poetry gathering on Saturday afternoon and I thought in addition to the other talented performers, the spirit at the Texas Cowboy Reunion was captured with with her upbeat tunes. Thanks Jill!This is a 5 minute streaming video so for all you dial up users give it few minutes to load the 12 mb on your web browser.
