On Monday 13 October 2025, Gene Watson reflected on his time, on Sunday 12 October 2025, at Cuero Turkey Fest 53rd Annual BBQ Cook-Off & Music Festival, in Cuero, Texas.
‘Our Canadian friends celebrate their Thanksgiving today (Monday 13 October 2025), so with them in mind, let’s talk Turkey!
We had a fun-filled Sunday (12 October 2025), performing at the annual Cuero, Texas Turkey Fest.
Back in 1912, before cars and trucks were the norm, Cuero hosted its first Turkey Trot.
Estimates of 30,000 people flocked to see over 18,000 turkeys herded down Main Street.
In this modern era, the festival is full of many great things to do, and we were happy to be part of their concert series.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Emil Garza, Mayor of Cuero, as shown in this photo above.
We also enjoyed performing to a great crowd of fans, who showed us they still love our kind of country!’
