Welcome to the 42nd Annual Chisholm Trail Roundup (CTR) on June 12, 13, & 14!
The whole county has been buzzing since last year when we brought back the Rodeo to Lockhart
and Caldwell County. For a second year, the Rodeo is here at the City Park in the middle of all the ex-
citement that already makes this CTR, the largest tourism event of the year. Many hours of preparation
have gone into planning the Rodeo and all the events of CTR, so make sure you give a great big thank
you to our Chamber Board of Directors, all the CTR Chairs and of course the countless volunteers
who donate their time.
Chisholm Trail Roundup has developed into a Texas-sized week of activities covering two week-
ends. The first weekend is the “BBQ Capital of Texas” Championship and Chili Cook-off on June 6
and 7. This opening weekend includes a Kick-off Party for Sponsors and Trail Bosses on Friday night
with live music, a Horseshoe Tournament on Saturday and of course fabulous BBQ and Chili by cook-
ers vying for points, trophies and cash prizes.
The festivities continue during the following week with Wednesday’s annual Cowboy Breakfast
on the Square. We encourage our citizens to dress western for this day and then Thursday out to the
City Park for the Queen Coronation and Awesome Auction followed by the band Soundwave. Friday
night features Vallejo in the Amphitheater and new this year, a Tejano Night in the Main Pavilion. The
Chamber is offering a special Class Reunion Gathering Place at the City Park on Friday for Reunion
Classes to come after decorating their floats for the Grand Parade.
Speaking of the Grand Parade, it is on Saturday at 10 a.m, with 150 plus entries. Of course there
will be tons of great music for everyone to enjoy on two stages again on Saturday with several local
bands in the Main Pavilion and Roger Creager headlining on Saturday in the Amphitheater.
With everything that makes up CTR, remember that the Button is always your best value for ad-
mission for the locals. Buttons can only be purchased in advance from a CTR Queen’s Court candidate
or at the Chamber office, and for only $10 each. You get gate access all weekend plus a $2 discount
on tickets to the Rodeo. But if you miss out on the Button, the small gate admission gets you into the
Park and parking is always free. With the crowd we are expecting on Saturday night for Roger Creager,
remember there is a free shuttle service from the Square as well.
We just can’t list all the excitement here, so please check out www.chisholmtrialroundup.com for
the full schedule. I welcome you to 42nd Annual Chisholm Trail Roundup, and trust you will enjoy
festival and all that Lockhart has to offer!

CTR queen and the Awesome Auction benefitting Project Graduation.
Saturday morning, there will be one of the best parades in Central Texas with over 150 floats.
Through Saturday night there will all kinds of family activities, food, old cowboy fun gunfights,

pavilion and see people you haven’t seen in a while!
Our historic square will be on hand for free parking and shuttle service to the park. Our shops
and boutiques will be open for business. The Historic Caldwell County Courthouse will be
open for tours and you might want see how the Clark library restoration is doing as we put the

The Chisholm Trail Roundup Rodeo and Music Festival offers some-thing for everyone - including those who like a little history with their en-tertainment.
All day Saturday, take a trip back in time to Lost Hope, Texas - an OldWest cattle town with a reputation for gruff gamblers, saucy showgirlsand black-hearted villains as mean as gut-shot bears.
Chaos reigns in the otherwise sleepy town while an over-extendedCity Marshall and a few kind-hearted barkeeps try to keep the peace - amammoth task in the face of gamblers cheating at cards, showgirls steal-ing from poker players and various and sundry villains and drunks, cheat-ing and stealing from everyone.
Be careful in Lost Hope! Sometimes, even the innocent are caught inthe crossfire as quarrels become bar brawls, and bar brawls becomeshootouts.
The Lost Hope Gunfighters perform every one to two hours through-out Lockhart City Park. Performances start around 3 p.m. and continueuntil sunset.
History comes alive with Lost Hope

couple a parcel of land on Boggy Creekas a wedding gift, and Brock built a logcabin on the site. Many of the twelvecommercial buildings financed by An-drew Lee Brock remain in use today. Inrecent years, the Friends of the BrockCabin have acquired funding and vol-unteer labor to restore this jewel inLockhart’s history, which remains underconstruction at Lion’s Park, and is ex-pected to open for public viewing laterin 2014.
