It was awesome to find out that the Santa Rosa Roundup (Rodeo) is this weekend in Vernon, Texas. Back in the 70s when my family lived there I was in the parade every year (1974-78).
One of my favorite childhood memories was seeing country singing star Tanya Tucker as the parade's grand marshal.
From KAUZ 6 Wichita Falls:
The City of Vernon kicked off the Santa Rosa Round-Up today, with of course, a parade.
Vernon residents flooded the streets hoping to get a closer look at the festivities.
We caught up with a community member who said the celebration of the Santa Rosa round is so important to all that it brings everyone out of their homes.
“Coming out and showing their support and just communicating with each other. People out that don’t get out. Like my mother, she stays in the house all the time and this gets her out to see people.” Karen Dabord said.
The theme for the parade this year centered around the Santa Rosa Palomino Riding Club’s 75th anniversary. For decades it has gotten state recognition as well as national recognition.
FYI - It looks like KAUZ in Wichita Falls could use some better reporters and story writers, and I am available. (Just Saying ... Resume Upon Request)
