Every year at this time of August Pleasanton Texas celebrates its claim as the "Birthplace of the Cowboy". It is billed as the "hottest" celebration in Texas, and it usually is. This distinction comes from the fact that this area of Texas was the origination point for many of the historic great "Cattle Drives" and "Cattle Trails" which were known for gathering herds of cattle and pushing them all the way to Kansas.
Pictured are the head cooks for the free cowboy breakfast that begins the celebration. Pictured standing from left are Jeffery Korus, Ross Nieschwitz, and Toby Hill, squatting lower right.
Cooking over mesquite coals are scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, refried beans, and flour tortillas. There is camp coffey which was boiled over the coals. It is said that they put a horseshoe in the pot and when the horseshoe floats they know it is ready.
