The 2013 8th Annual Cowboys for Heroes Event had a record 20 wagons serving an estimated 2000 attendees.
The Chuck Wagon folks are the foundation for the Cowboys for Heroes annual event. The teams are some of the finest cooks in the land. For all the miles pulling that big trailer, for all the setting up and tearing down sweat, for the many happy tummies you fed, we all say:
THANK YOU !!!
