The Stampede moves to new location

Allie Calvert, Editor-In-Chief

November 6, 2024

The Stampede will now be at the Texoma Cowboy Church Arena Thursday night at 7 p.m.

Despite multiple changes from the original plan, The Stampede is still on for Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Texoma Cowboy Church Arena off Highway 281.

There will still be class competitions and games, but no concessions will be available at the new location. Weather permitting, a bonfire will be held.

Originally, the event was supposed to take place at Wichita County Mounted Patrol Arena. However, due to rain over the past few days, it was changed to the cowboy church which is covered.

Thunderstorms are still in the forecast for Thursday with a 35 percent chance at 7 p.m. with it increasing throughout the evening.
