| Description: | Welcome to the World's Largest Rattlesnake Round-Up! Thank you for visiting our online community as well as our local community and we hope that you will enjoy your stay. The weekend will officially kick off on Thursday, March 12, 2009 with our Rattlesnake Review Parade through downtown Sweetwater. That evening, you can join us for the Miss Snake Charmer Pageant held in the Sweetwater Municipal Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. The doors will open at 8:00 a.m. Friday March 13, 2009 for the 51st Annual Sweetwater Jaycees World's Largest Rattlesnake Round-Up with snakes being weighed in at 7:00 a.m. that morning at the Nolan County Coliseum. Catch one of our snake handling demonstrations while you are here and don't forget to try some deep-fried Western Diamondback Rattlesnake meat. Make sure that you don't miss out on the numerous vendors located at both in the inside and outside flea markets, carnival, and The Gun, Knife and Coin show being offered as well. Our community tries to offer something for everyone this weekend. This year marks the 18th year of our Rattlesnake Round-Up Cook-Off located at the Newman Park grounds with judging being held Saturday March 10, 2007 beginning at noon. The Girl Scouts will also have their salsa and dessert contest in conjunction with the cook-off. We always welcome volunteers to judge (and you get to taste some really great food). Sunday will mark the return of an old favorite, the Jaycee beard contest. Please help us celebrate this new old event directly after the Rattlesnake eating contest at 2:00 p.m. Hopefully, this list will offer something to pique everyone's curiosity and interest in coming back for another visit, so that you can see why they say "Life is Sweet in Sweetwater." | |
