A HUGE thank you to everyone who stopped by our tent at the Downtown De Pere Farmers Market on Thursday!

Our Spin-to-Win wheel was a blast, and plenty of lucky visitors rode away with a cowboy prize... but the real star of the day was our Cowboy Duck! 🦆🤠

From Jeep enthusiasts adding a new duck to their dashboard, to kids creating their own cowboy companion, to cowboy fans of all ages—seeing everyone's faces light up was the highlight of our evening!

Missed out? Don't worry! Join us at the next Downtown De Pere Farmers Market on Thursday, July 23, and make your very own Cowboy Duck!

While you're at it, be sure to stop by and experience our Cowboys: History & Hollywood exhibit this summer as we celebrate America 250. It's the perfect way to explore the legends, history, and Hollywood magic of the American cowboy.
