If you register as a Pioneer at the Courthouse, you are invited to join us for a FREE barbeque lunch by Texas Best BBQ at the VFW building on Friday, September 16th and Saturday, September 17th beginning each day after the parade. There will be a bus available at the southwest side of courthouse to chauffer you out to the pioneer grounds and bring you back.
To register as a Pioneer, a person must be 60 years old and born in Clay County or lived here for 30 or more years. The Pioneer button you receive when you register is your ticket in the door.
For those who are still a little too young to qualify as a Pioneer, a lunch will be available to purchase from Texas Best BBQ at the tabernacle next door to the VFW building.
