2026 HCC Cowboy Carnival results

A beautiful sunny day greeted everyone for the 2026 Hyattville Cowboy Carnival on Sunday, May 24.

A morning worship service organized by Todd Jones and Frank Ley began the day and was well attended. The crowd of 375 people were able to enjoy the Quilt Show, Kate Richardson’s

“Outdoor Cooking on the Trail,” Harry Deveraux’s Miniature Hyattville Houses, history of and pictures of early Hyattville businesses, and the Paintrock Fish Hatchery and information on fish spawning and distribution highlighted the history presentations.

The Levii Klemm, 9K Ranch Horses, “From the Ground Up Colt Starting” and Todd Jones’, “Preparing for your Packhorse Adventure” were popular events as well as the Carl Jones’ Petting Zoo with all his baby animals and donkey ride.

ANB sponsored - Quinlan Valdez’s live music was enjoyed by the crowd as they enjoyed their barbecue luncheon under the tents and tables situated on the upper lawn or the shaded, picnic tables down by the swing and merry-go-rounds and the children’s activities area. Then there were those slices of homemade pies and ice cream to top off the meal.

The Hyattville Cowboy Carnival fundraiser live auction and raffle ticket drawings culminated a fun-filled day for the large crowd.
