The 63rd annual Chisholm Trail Rodeo is set for 8 p.m. on June 12-13 at the Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena in Nocona.
“It’s a huge tradition in the community,” Nocona Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Joni Coursey said. “It’s the longest running event we have in Nocona.”
Coursey said there is something on the card for the whole family.
The event is one of the highlights of the calendar year.
There will be mutton bustin’ on both nights for children six years old and under, with rides starting at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets cost $6 in advance and $8 at the gate. Children six years old and under are admitted free with a paid adult.
Tickets may be purchased at Gibbs Pharmacy and the chamber office.
Chisholm Trail Rodeo committee member Stepheny Womack said this is an open, unsanctioned rodeo. The purse for the event is $3,500. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
