Back to the present for some updates and news about Caddo!
Heritage Day is right around the corner. Mark your calendar for October 6 and plan to get here early! We'll start the day with the Buffalo Stampede 5K Run at 8am. There is also a 1-mile fun run so get out those walking shoes! The parade begins at 10 am. Then there will be lots of entertainment, free games for the children, an art show, a quilt show, and food! New this year is the Competition Chili Cookoff. Appearing on our stage in the afternoon will be Callie Maxwell, a sixteen-year-old yodeler from Dodd City, Texas. Callie is the reigning Teen Miss Texas and a fine yodeler.
