Santa Fe Trail Ride
Held The Third Weekend In February
This Is Part Of The San Angelo Stock Show And Rodeo Association

    Miles plays hosts to members of the Santa Fe Trail Ride held in conjunction with the San Angelo Livestock Show and Rodeo. The event is held the third week of February. The ride begins in Abilene and follows a trail approximately 88 miles and concludes in downtown San Angelo.
     The 2008 route began on Friday, February 15 at the world famous Perinni Ranch in Buffalo Gap. The trail ride stops in the communities of Bradshaw, Winters, Ballinger and Miles. The group of 100 riders along with several covered wagons arrived in Miles on Thursday evening, February 21. The Miles Preservation Authority, Miles Volunteer Fire Department and the Miles Young Farmers host this annual event.
    Miles has become the “highlight” of the Trail Ride. A grilled steak dinner with all the trimmings is served beginning at 6 p.m. on Thursday evening. The entertainment is a “Casino Night” and features Blackjack and Texas Hold' Em. Each member of the above sponsoring organizations are responsible for a prize. This year we had over 70 prizes for the “Casino Night”. Breakfast is prepared at 6 a.m. on Friday morning. The trail ride pulls out of Miles after breakfast. We sold over 300 tickets to the 2008 Trail Ride Dinner and Casino Night!
    This is a community project with proceeds benefiting the three above organizations. Come out next year and have a great time.
     The 2009 Trail Ride will be in downtown Miles on Wednesday evening, February 18, 2009 to camp and will return to Miles on Friday, February 20 for the steak dinner and casino night. For more information check the San Angelo Stock and Rodeo website!! or email: info@milestx.com
