Over 8,000 visitors enjoyed the 26th Annual Comanche County Pow-Wow. Over 300 classic cars, 49 cook-off teams, 50 exhibits for the antique tractors & engine show, over 160 booths, great Texas Country Music entertainment and hundreds of the best volunteers in the world!

The State Championship BBQ Cook-Off gave away cash prizes in the amount of $3,069-- more than double last year's awards. The antique tractor and engine show boasted more tractors than in past years, while the classic car show had everything from cars to trucks to gold-plated bicycles and motorcycles!

Elvis Impersonator Johnny Memphis wooed the crowds Saturday morning, while Deryl Dodd packed 'em in Saturday afternoon. Locals Dino Mireles and Paul Carbajal wrapped up the entertainment to a full house on Saturday. There was fellowship in the park led by Eastside Baptist, hosts of The Messenger and the Church-Wide Volleyball Tournament spiked all expectations. An impressive Texas Country Music line-up graced the Mandatory FM stage Sunday afternoon. Tommy Alverson, Amos Staggs, Walt Wilkins, the Matt Martindale Band and surprise guest singer/ songwriter Susan Gibson.

A big thank you goes to the thank you goes to Pow-Wow chairs Kyle Riley and Wade Pyburn. Eddy Parker also co-chaired, while taking care of over 300 Classic Car Show participants. The Comanche County Pow-Wow always relies on the team from the City of Comanche for taking such great care of the park before, after and year-round at the City Park. We also appreciate the Pavilion Sponsors including Texas Bank and Oncor.

The Comanche Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture and the Pow-Wow Council would like to thank everyone who supported this year's event by sponsoring, participating, attending, entertaining and volunteering at one of the most successful Comanche County Pow-Wows in recent history!
