This year the Chamber is excited to be able to bring to you an old fashioned Chuck Wagon Cook-Off!

The Chamber will be offering plate lunches to the public for $10.00 a plate, from Noon to 1PM on Saturday and Judging results at 4PM. Tickets should be available for presale soon, and will go fast. Each Chuck Wagon will cook for their crew and plates for the public, including meat, potatoes, beans, bread, and dessert! In addition to the judging of their food, they are judged on their wagon, campsite, and dress. Come on over and look around and step back in time....

The Brazos Bottom Cowographers is one of the largest gunfighter groups in Texas, and the only traveling group that brings 35 to 70 performers, over 100 feet of streetfront, and literally hundreds of props to every away show, and will be coming to Troy for this year's FunFest. They will be set up in Trojan Park, and will perform two seperate planned shows, free to the public. They perform at about 20 events per year, and literally thousands of satisfied audience members have enjoyed their performances each year. This is family oriented entertainment for all ages! Their shows consist of historic, comedic, and fictional sketches, all performed in the spirit of the old west. They do an introduction, safety briefing, and a closing during each performance.
