A Local Tradition for over 60 YearsJuly 25th 2019 will kick off the 64th Annual Kueckelhan Ranch Rodeo. Our event is one of the most entertaining and exciting events that takes place in Fannin County each year. Thousands of people of all ages and walks of life, look forward to attending this annual event, and the experience seems to get better each and every year.
"When we held our first rodeo, we never dreamed it would grow to it's present size and popularity. "It started out as a place to practice and to have fun. My dad, Howard, backed me up and let us have competitions, and the business just mushroomed," said the tall, slim rodeo head. Haynes lives rodeoing, promotes it and gets up each morning to supervise preparation for it on his ranch. He knows what he's talking about, because he is on of the founders of the Cowboys Regional Rodeo Association. He served as President, overseeing the seven-state regional CRRA in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. Haynes thought back as he recalled, "That first year, we had one performance Saturday night. An old hog wire fence with two bucking chutes for the First Invitational Rodeo. We didn't have any bleachers church pews were borrowed from the nearby Corinth Baptist Church (which the Kueckelhan's have always attended) and the pews were set up on the back of a float trailer for the fans seats. "That's where we have come from," Kueckelhan concluded as he gazed around the all-metal arena that now seats over 5,000. SCHEDULED TO APPEAR NIGHTLY...Andy Seiler - Pro Rodeo Announcer
Andy knows how essential the role of announcer is in making sure fans are not only informed, but that they are enjoying their time spent at the rodeo.
