Launched in 2005 complete with a commemorative flag that now flies in 30 states and six countries, National Day of the Cowboy (NDOC) seeks to promote and preserve the cowboy’s role in America’s rich Western heritage. Designated as the fourth Saturday in July, NDOC’s 11th annual celebration takes shape on a local level at the Briscoe. Besides free museum tours, the event includes live music by the Texas Weather Band, campfire tales with Miss Tiffany of Storytime Chicks, an appearance by Alex Ingram (Miss Rodeo 2014), a prop-filled photo booth and grub for purchase from Cheesy Jane’s.
