2009 XIT Rodeo and Reunion
Dalhart, TX "We have wild dreams of big rides"
The
first annual OAT float! Here are a collection of photos from the XIT Rodeo and Reunion parade held August
8th, 2009 in Dalhart, TX. The parade which begins at 10:00 a.m. at the inter-section of Texas Blvd and
Denrock travels down to 3rd St. and across to Denver and then back to Texas Blvd. The parade was over 1.5
hours long this year. We hope to make the OAT float an annual tradition. Look for us
again in 2010!

Thank you WEST
TEXAS GAS for "pimping our ride!"
OAT
would like to thank Darrell Lansford and Donnie McWhirter the local managers of Dalhart WTG for providing the truck, trailer
and driver for our first of many XIT Float. Driver, Rusty Hembree is employed by WTG and the husband of
OAT Director, Kristen Hembree. Rusty not only drove the truck which pulled the float but was also responsible
for washing, making safe and assisting with decoration of the float.
OAT would also like
to thank all of our Volunteers who helped build and prepare the float and a SPECIAL THANKS to our Volunteers who lead horses
or side-walked in the parade! That was a huge responsibility and a long distance to walk - THANKS!!!
