CENTENNIAL LONGHORN STEER


The State of Oklahoma celebrated it's 100th Birthday November 16th, 2007. In honor of this occasion cities all over the State chose different themes and projects to participate in the milestone event.

One project that the citizens of Yukon undertook was the Centennial Longhorns. Funds for the purchase of these sculptures came from donations and fundraisers. The Longhorn was a natural choice for us. The Chisholm Trail over which these animals were driven from Texas to Kansas came right thru our town!

This one presented by the Yukon Historical Society sits on Main Street at the Railroad Tracks.

My first photo in the series of 'Centennial Longhorns'.
