It is quickly approaching!  Stockyards City Main Street would like to invite everyone to attend the annual Stockyards Stampede event that will be held on Saturday, October 17th! 

The Slash O' Ranch Longhorns will kick off the event at 10:00 a.m. by parading down the street.  They will begin at the iconic Oklahoma National Stockyards archway on Exchange.  The longhorns will be in the National Saddlery Arena until 2 pm, then they will return to Oklahoma National Stockyards, via Agnew.

An authentic Chuck Wagon camp will be set up where you can view demonstrations of traditional cooking.  At noon, samplings of cobbler, stew, cornbread and more will be on hand.  The Chuck Wagon Camp is south of Ol’ Glory Hat Company, 1111 South Agnew.

There will be live music by many talented entertainers, including Tanner Fields, Michael and Lela Dalby, Cowboy Jim Garling, Richard Sharp, and Maddox Ross.  The Little Miss and Mr. Stockyards City pageant will begin at noon.   The entertainment and Stockyards City Pageant will be at Rodeo Cinema, 2221 Exchange Avenue.

A Made in Oklahoma Market will include locally made and produced items.  Various types of demonstrations and tastings will be held throughout the day. The Market will be next to Little Joe’s Boots.  New to the market this year will be a Wine Tasting event!  It will be located behind Little Joe’s Boots adjacent to the Market.

The Kids Corral will have many fun activities for kids of all ages!  Located adjacent to the National Saddlery Arena, there will be a petting zoo, pony rides, face painting, and dummy roping.  It will also be an opportunity to learn about the importance of agriculture in Oklahoma.   AgVenture Land is a new initiative with a purpose of educating the public, specifically children, about agriculture.  The partner for this portion is Ag in the Classroom and the Department of Agriculture.

Oklahoma’s Best Beef Competition will begin at 11:00 a.m.  Beef producers from across the state will be competing for the coveted prize.  If you would like to sample and vote on your favorite, wristbands are $25, and the proceeds benefit Oklahoma CattleWomen.  The awards ceremony will be at 3:00 p.m.

Next to Shorty’s Caboy Hattery a Western Photo Booth will be set up.

This will be a perfect opportunity to experience all that is Stockyards City!  Visit the restaurants, shops, and get pictures of the things you can only see in Stockyards City!

The entire event is family friendly.  Join us on Saturday, October 17th for this year's Stockyards Stampede.
