On Sept 20th we attended the parade for the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Dewey Roundup in Dewey, Oklahoma. Once one of the three largest rodeos in the world it was discontinued in the 40's after a grandstand collapsed. On Saturday some of the old cowboys and cowgirls were on hand for the parade and a Wild West Show was performed on Sunday. We didn't get to see that but had a great time at the parade and watched Uncle Bill give autographs for a book he wrote on the history of the event. The video that follows has a few pictures of Bill, the parade, and impersonators of Pawnee Bill and Tom Mix with Tony the Wonder Horse of course. The music is by John McCutcheon whom we got to see perform the previous day at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas....what FUN!!!
