Texas Panhandle
- Palo Duro's Enduring Pageant by Mike Cox
"The show debuted in 1966 and grew into a summer tradition. Thanks to news media exposure, local marketing efforts and old-fashioned word of mouth, the pageant�s reputation built with each passing season. In recent years, USA Today included it in its �Top 10 Must See Theaters in America� and the American Bus Association�s �Top 100 Attractions in North America.�
An estimated 4 million people have viewed the pageant over the last 50 years. In recent seasons, the show�s three-month run (six days a week with Mondays off) has drawn about 65,000 annually. "
