Reunite with fans at 58th Rex Allen Days
"If you have ever or never been to an annual small-town celebration, we have a classic example for all ages right here in Willcox, original home of a famous singing cowboy," said Rex Allen Days Committee president Peggy Judd. "Join us, as we Cowboy through it all during the 58th Annual Rex Allen Days, held this year on Oct. 1-4."
The Rex Allen Days Rodeo is a Grand Canyon Pro Rodeo event held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, Oct. 3-4. Fans sit so close you can smell the bull's breathe during the spectacular bull-riding finales both days.
A carnival is featured all four days of the event, while a country fair with food booths, souvenirs, mariachi dancers and the Ronald McDonald magic show will be featured Friday through Sunday.
The Willcox Cowboy Hall of Fame activities will induct four cowboys on Thursday night, Oct. 1.
The annual parade runs through downtown at 10 a.m. Saturday, followed by the Orlando B. Willcox turtle race at noon at Keiller Park.
Tractor pulls, car shows, softball and golf tournaments also highlight the weekend for spectators and participants alike.
The stage show features Rex Allen, Jr. and sons, saluting their patriarch and the last of the silver screen singing Cowboys, Rex Allen, Sr. This professional show is the backbone to a remarkable weekend, and runs at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 3.
Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative, and the City of Willcox co-sponsor the celebration at exit 340 off of I-10 in southeastern Arizona.
