Last but not least β€” our President and the man behind the legendary Pork Chop Feed… Tyler Carnesecca! πŸ₯©πŸ€  Tyler closes out three incredible years on the board, and we cannot think of a better way to go out than leading the 90th as President. We know he's going to make it one to remember!
Tyler is a proud Dalhart native and a Dalhart Wolf through and through β€” class of 2001! He and his wife Katrina are raising three wonderful kids β€” Corbin, Coltin, and Addysin β€” right here in the community he loves. Tyler is the owner of Down and Dirty Ditching, Lindsay Zimmatic Dealerships across Dalhart, Dumas, and Elkhart, Kansas, and the popular XIT Woodfire Grill β€” a Dalhart favorite! Tyler has always believed in pouring back into this community, and his service on this board is just one more way he lives that out. πŸ™ŒπŸŽ‰

We are shifting gears this week to celebrate our 3rd-year directors β€” and what a way to finish! This is their third and final year serving on the XIT Rodeo & Reunion board, and they are going out on the biggest stage possible β€” the 90th. We have no doubt they are going to make it one for the books. πŸ€ πŸŽ‰
Alex Quiroz, Rodeo Director!
Alex's story starts in El Paso, Texas, but Dalhart has been home since 2007. He grew up right here in our community, walked the halls of Dalhart High School, and proudly graduated in 2017. In 2020, he married his best friend, Sadie, and together they are raising four incredible kids β€” Xavier, Rhealee, Alejandro, and Nayeli. When he's not directing this rodeo, Alex works as a Meter Technician at Rita Blanca Cooperative, serving this community he loves. We are so proud to have him leading the rodeo for one final, unforgettable year! πŸ™Œ

Rodeo man Alex is out here doing the work β€” prepping the arena for tomorrow’s JRCA and keeping the little cowboys and cowgirls cool in the Texas heat! πŸ€ πŸ’¦
These kiddos figured out real quick that the fence was the best seat in the house… and Alex didn’t disappoint!

Today we're introducing Dylan Hunter β€” second-year director, Treasurer, and our Hospitality Director! 🀠 Dylan may be in his second year, but he's already an essential part of keeping this operation running smoothly!
A Mount Vernon, Ohio native, Dylan has called Dalhart home since 2016. What started as a career move to Hilmar has grown into deep roots in this community. Today he manages multiple gas plants across the region with Green Gas Co., bringing serious operational experience to the XIT board.
Off the clock, Dylan and his wife Liana are raising four boys β€” Bryden, Austin, Abel, and Ivan β€” so he knows a thing or two about managing controlled chaos!
Dylan's commitment to hard work, integrity, and community is exactly the kind of energy the 90th deserves.

πŸ”₯ The Texas Panhandle needs your prayers right now.
For two days straight, the Dalhart and Hartley Fire Departments and all of our emergency personnel have been battling fires to protect our people and our livestock. These men and women are working around the clock with everything they've got.
Lord, cover them. Keep them safe. Give them strength to finish the fight.
If you're the praying type β€” now is the time. Lift up every firefighter, every first responder, every volunteer out there on the front lines of these Texas Panhandle fires.
