West Texas town offers varied attractions

ALIVE WITH HISTORY

Welcome To Pecos WELCOME TO PECOS, TEXAS! For those new to Pecos, you might have missed some things.

For one, Pecos was the birthplace of the rodeo in 1883, and the tradition is celebrated annually in the summer with the West of the Pecos Rodeo at Buck Jackson Arena.

The story of how the rodeo

4

got its start is pretty simple.

Pecos stood at the junction of several cattle drive and wagon trails. The Goodnight-Loving, Butterfield, and Chisholm Trails passed through Pecos, all because of the availability of easy natural crossing points on the Pecos River. After 1881, the rail road also passed through

Pecos, TX • 2016 Community Magazine & Chamber of Commerce Directory

here. With so much traffic regularly coming through Pecos, it was only natural for the many cowboys on trail drives to demonstrate their skills and try to be the best at what they did. Bragging rights for being the best led to direct competition, and thus was born the rodeo, right here in Pecos.

Learn more on page 32.

One of the main attractions here is the West of the Pecos Museum. It occupies two historic buildings, the JohnsonHeard Saloon and the Orient Hotel built respectively in 1896 and 1904. The saloon boasts a talking bartender and the two buildings house more than 50

PecosCG_pgs004-005.qxp_Layout 1 3/16/16 3:15 PM Page 2

s rooms displaying scenes of life in the 1800s. Learn more on page 12. Also, drop by the Memory Lane Antique Car Museum for a step back in time.

Plan your calendar around seasonal events such as the summer rodeo and cantaloupe harvest, or the September 16th Fiesta and Parade. See the Events Calendar on page 17.

The food in Pecos is something you won't want to miss. The town is well known for its Tex-Mex cuisine, see page 14, as well as the famous Pecos cantaloupe. They became a favorite of rail passengers traveling through Pecos, as the Texas and Pacific Railway regularly picked up a supply of the fruit. The distinct flavor of

Pecos melons is now known all over the United States. Learn more on page 14.

The weather in this region is so predictable that the military chose it for its Pecos Army Air Field because the area averaged 360 days per year that flying was possible. No other site offered such wide flexibility, weather-wise. It was the

location of the country's largest bomber training center during World War II because of the weather and the flat landscape.

It appears lots of folks like Pecos. Forbes named it the second fastest growing small town in the nation in 2012.

From the Mayor Hello from Pecos, Texas! Visit one of the fastest growing small cities in America (Forbes Magazine) and enjoy true Texas hospitality as you meet some of the friendliest and helpful people anywhere!

Where is Pecos? Pecos is in far West Texas 75 miles west of Odessa and 200 miles east of El Paso on Interstate 20 and centrally located to just about everything! Day or weekend trips include going to the mountains, lakes, sand dunes, or the desert.

Explore caves and caverns, hike in the mountains, ride and play on sand dunes, take a scenic drive to the McDonald Observatory, or camp at Balmorhea State Park and enjoy some birding and a spring fed swimming experience as well as terrific scuba diving!

While in Pecos visit our historic Main Street area and our famous West of the Pecos Museum in the restored 19th century three story Orient Hotel. Next door is the Number 11 Saloon which has a bullet hole in the floor from a long ago gunfight reminding us of the true beginnings of our community which is steeped in rich cultural history. Steps away visit the Pecos Chamber of Commerce/CVB located in the old 1911 Texas Pacific railroad depot which also houses the Texas

Rodeo Hall of Fame or just down the street visit the awesome Memory Lane Car Museum. A new baseball complex is underway at our City Park that will host all levels of tournaments for kids of all ages!

Education

Suzuki Violin Program

Exemplifying Excellence

Unique programs enhance Pecos student opportunities Programs aid in maintaining high standards The local school district doesn't just give lip service to excellence -- it exemplifies it, every day in every way. PecosBarstow-Toyah ISD is proud of its educational programs, its record of high achievement and its innovative approach and dedication to the needs of its students and the expectations of this community.

Here are a few specific programs and services the district provides.

SUZUKI VIOLIN PROGRAM PBT-ISD recently integrated

the Suzuki Violin Program into its music department by giving kindergarten students an opportunity to take violin lessons during the day. The Suzuki Method is built around the premise that the parents are the best educators of their children. The role of the teacher is to be an example and role model for the child and parent. The parent learns from the teacher how to teach music to the child. The child learns how the instrument should sound and what good posture should look and feel like. The

PecosCG_pgs008-011.qxp_Layout 1 3/16/16 3:22 PM Page 2

teacher also exemplifies and embodies the positive Suzuki philosophy and teaches the parent how to practice with the child in a positive and motivating way. The parent continually models the home practice after the lesson and imitates the teacher’s positive attitude and teacher methods while applying their own knowledge and expertise regarding their child. The student must understand that the parent looks to the teacher for instruction and that the teacher relies on the parent to help the student master the assignment at home. All members of the triangle need to understand themselves as parts of the whole, working together on an interesting and worthwhile project. The District currently has 20 students participating in the Suzuki Violin Program.

EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL Pecos Early College High School is an exciting new educational opportunity being provided through the collaboration of the PecosBarstow-Toyah ISD and the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. PBT-ISD gained the approval of the Texas Education Agency in April 2015 and welcomed Early College High School (ECHS). In August 2015, classes began with a freshmen class of about 25 students. Each year a new freshman class will be added.

This unique school is specifically designed to not only provide students with a rigorous course of study, but to introduce them to college courses as early as the ninth grade.

Pecos ECHS is redefining the typical comprehensive High School

experience to complement an academically oriented small school setting. The early college high school model was created to achieve that very thing. Forty percent of the student body is to be made up of at-risk students.

Those who stay in the ECHS program for all four years will graduate with a high school diploma and up to 60 hours of college credit from UTPB. This is at no cost to the student, and can cut in half the price and the time necessary to earn a bachelor’s degree. UTPB awards a $500.00 SPUR scholarship to each ECHS student to UTPB per each semester for the completion of a dual credit course with a passing grade of 70% or higher.

In 1987-88, the district's volleyball team captured the state championship. Over the past two decades, teams have consistently advanced to the playoffs.

SCHOLARSHIPS In order to further the higher education goals of local students, the PBT-ISD Education Foundation was created in 2013. Along with the PBT-ISD Guidance Counselors, the Foundation encourages all faculty, staff and businesses to take part in encouraging our students to become college ready and academically successful! Every Monday of the school year is designated as “College Spirit Day”, whereas

all students and faculty members are encouraged to wear a college or university shirt. The PBT-ISD Education Foundation believes that every student has the ability to achieve academic success, and that we, as a community, have the power and the influence to make it happen!

By encouraging our students to become college ready, we have made a commitment to assist our graduating seniors with funds to help with the cost of attending college.

Museum takes visitors back to the Old West The West of the Pecos Museum is a delightful step back in time, featuring displays of artifacts and memorabilia from the 1800s, and more than 50 rooms dedicated to specific themes and characters from the period when Pecos was a budding community.

Rooms are dedicated to rail road memorabilia, the rodeo, and local pioneer families. The mythical wild cowboy Pecos Bill also has his own room. Other room displays include the “Law West of the Pecos"; beauty and barber shops; kitchen; doctors; general store; school rooms; and volunteer fire department, to name a few.

Tex-Mex Food in Pecos

Mexican food seasoned with heritage Tex-Mex food is a wonderful tradition dating back to the Spanish occupation of the southern United States. In this cuisine, with a character all its own, you get the blending of influences from Old Mexico and the Tejano heritage of Native Americans, who adapted their lifestyles to the Spanish.

Today's Tex-Mex food is a marvelous combination of flavors and menu items that represent a true regional cuisine like no other.

Predominant seasonings that lend their strengths to Tex-Mex food include chili powder, garlic, and cumin. Their typically abundant use gives this food a distinct

difference from most straightforward Mexican cuisine. As such, Tex-Mex is a treat found nowhere else. And some of the best Tex-Mex food that will ever grace your palate can be found in Pecos, Texas. Of the many reasons to prioritize a stop in Pecos, the food is probably number one. Local residents know a good thing when they see it - or in this case, taste it.

If you have never eaten a chile relleno, you have no idea what you are missing.

This is a mild poblano pepper stuffed with a delicious cheese and meat mixture, and then coated in an egg batter and deep fried.

It is unforgettable.

The Pecos Cantaloupe is famous nationwide for its unique and delicious flavor imparted by the potassium rich soil and abundant sunshine in the area. First grown in 1917, the melons were sold to dining cars of the Texas & Pacific Railway and promoted as “Pecos” cantaloupes gaining a loyal following among the satisfied diners on the train.

Find your own Pecos cantaloupe in the summer months at roadside stands and Texas grocery stores. Also, join the fun at the Little Miss Cantaloupe Pageant each June and the Cantaloupe Fly-in each August. See page 17 for more information.

14

Pecos, TX • 2016 Community Magazine & Chamber of Commerce Directory

Trademark dishes in this cuisine include fajitas and the ever-popular chili con carne.

Generous measures of cheese are coupled with beef and beans for true Tex-Mex flavor distinct from purely Mexican traditions. Be sure to look for any of a variety of enchiladas in red sauce with sour cream and guacamole.

Not that you can't get great Tex-Mex food elsewhere, but Pecos just might be the heart and soul of the region when it comes to this food. More than a dozen fine restaurants in Pecos offer some of the best Tex-Mex food you will ever find.

Texas and barbecue have a long and satisfying relationship.

And anyone who knows barbecue knows some of the best is found in Pecos.

If you’re visiting West Texas from another state - or country - make a stop in Pecos for the Mexican food - and the barbecue.

Try smoked ribs, beef brisket with spicy BBQ sauce, green chile– cheddar pozole and all the fixings at Pody’s BBQ (1330 S. Cedar, 432-448-4635. Open Tue–Sat 11–9) or drop by the Old Mill BBQ (1380 S. Eddy, 432-447-6106. Open Mon-Fri 6:30am-8pm, Sat 7-2) where you can order the Brisket and Hotlink plate or St. Louis Ribs.

Don’t leave West Texas without a taste for true Texas BBQ.

Pecos Economic Transportation Development Corp.

Established in October 2007, the Pecos 4B Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) has been at the forefront of most of the economic development that Pecos has seen over the past 5 years.

Voters in May 2007 approved the creation of a 4B Economic Development Corporation for Pecos, which under state law is allowed to spend tax funds on a wider variety of projects than those permitted under 4A rules.

Bill Oglesby, Executive Director since January 2011, previously served as a PEDC Board member and brings 38 years of banking experience to his position.

Ken Winkles, Jr., Assistant Director since September 2015 had worked for the Sul Ross Small Development Center in Pecos for the past 5 years and brings 25 years of small business ownership experience to this new position.

A seven member Board of Directors, including Pecos Mayor Venetta Seals and City Manager Eric Honeyfield, governs the PEDC. Under Oglesby’s leadership over the past 5 years, the PEDC has been responsible for, or assisted with, more than 40 projects which has led to an increase in the total property tax base for Pecos and an increase in both primary and secondary jobs. These projects have also led to an increase in the community wealth and wellbeing of its citizens.

The primary responsibilities of the PEDC are to: • Promote and encourage economic growth for the City of Pecos • Retention of business enterprises within the City • Promotion and development of new and expanded businesses in the City For more information on the PEDC and business opportunities in Pecos call 432445-9960.

Pecos is located on the northern edge of the Chihuahuan Desert in far West Texas in the Trans-Pecos region. Access is easy by Interstate highway, bus or air. Map coordinates are 31°24 56 N 103°30 0 W.

A scenic route in the region is via Highway 17 to the South intersecting Interstate Highway 10 and then through Balmorhea, Texas to Fort Davis, Texas in the Davis Mountains and on to Alpine or Marfa, Texas.

Also, you can join the scenic loop in the Davis Mountains and visit the world-famous McDonald Observatory.

History of Pecos

Pecos, Texas, originally located on the banks of the Pecos River gained its name from this famous meandering water course. Pecos is a Native-American word meaning “crooked”.

The regions prehistoric history is evident in pictographs and in the Jumano people who irrigated crops from San Solomon Spring near Balmorhea. Three Jumano’s met the expedition of Antonio de Espejo near Toyah Lake in 1583 and Espejo’s diary notes these people lived along the Pecos River. Settlers of Mexican descent farmed from early times this same area irrigating from surface water.

Anglo farmers arrived in 1871 and the availability of several river fords within 30 miles made this a strategic location for commerce and a crossroads for cattle and wagon trains.

The Texas and Pacific Railroad arrived in

1881 linking Pecos with El Paso to the West and Fort Worth to the East and allowed settlement and further development of the ranching industry and agriculture in the fertile Pecos River valley.

The sweet Pecos cantaloupe was introduced and gained worldwide fame and is still grown in the region.

Pecos has been sustained through the years because of the railroad, its strategic location on Interstate Highway 20, agriculture and oil and gas exploration. And as home of the World’s First Rodeo, Pecos draws the top rodeo performers and fans each summer for the West of the Pecos Rodeo.

THE LEGEND OF PECOS BILL According to the legend, Pecos Bill was born in Texas in the 1830s. Pecos Bill was traveling in a covered wagon as an infant when he fell out unnoticed by the rest of his family near the Pecos River (thus his nickname). He was taken in and raised by a pack of coyotes. Years later he was found by his real brother, who managed to convince him he was not a coyote. Pecos Bill taught gophers to dig holes for fence posts, rode mountain lions and cyclones and roped huge herds with his lariat - which was a snake. He married Slewfoot Sue and lived happily ever after.

PECOS RIVER The history of Pecos is closely linked to the Pecos River. Early inhabitants found both a steady water supply and several easy crossing points in this area. The river spans 700 miles from the Sangre de Cristo mountains northeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico to its ending at the Rio Grande Rivers near Langtry, Texas.

Early travelers to the area described the river as having a fast current and being from 60 to 100 feet wide and seven to ten feet deep.

This made crossing the river difficult except in a few places. Today, while flooding still occurs (most recently in 2014) dams and other diversions have diminished its regular flow considerably.

RODEO

in Pecos

Good-natured contest becomes annual event

The date was 1883 -- July 4, to be exact. It was on that date in the small West Texas town of Pecos that a "top cowboy" was named in local competition and a rodeo tradition was born.

Pecos was the trade center of the area's cattle empire at the time, the place where cowboys congregated on payday to spend their time and their cash and to brag a little, or a lot, about their exploits and their skills. The first rodeo may have been an informal test of skills, a good-natured local contest to pick the top ropers and riders from the huge and competitive area ranches. But, there was cash money posted for the winners -- $25 for top spot, and a $15 second prize -- and barbecue was to be provided for spectators and contestants alike.

That first rodeo drew quite a crowd, approximately 1,000 people. And the top cowboy turned out to be Morgan Livingston of the NA Ranch, with Trav Windham of the Lazy Y taking home the second prize.

Henry Slack, who may have been the youngest participant, noted that it wasn't a "wild and wooly" contest, but that it was conducted in a "quiet and orderly manner." Slack gave up the cowboy life for business, but remained an avid supporter of the rodeo,

32

and either led or rode in local rodeo parades when they were instituted in the 1930s. He died in 1944.

The rodeo tradition continues to this day: The West of the Pecos Rodeo has grown into a four day event, including bull riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling and tie down roping, along with familyoriented events like the children's boot scramble and wild cow milking. The celebration, now held in June, also includes a traditional parade and an Old Timers Reunion.

The times may have changed, and Pecos may not be the cattle drive capital of the West any longer, but the tradition continues. And, if anyone should dispute the Pecos claim of being the birthplace of the rodeo, local residents simply point to authentication by Encyclopedia Britannica in response to documentation provided by the local newspaper. Pecos is named as the host of "the first public cowboy contest wherein prizes were awarded to the winners of bronco riding and steer roping."

Today, the rodeo is a non-profit, board directed organization that aims to preserve this annual event for years to come. Plan to attend on June 22-25 2016.
