The '''Mesquite Championship Rodeo''' is a [[rodeo]] located in [[Mesquite, Texas]], [[United States]], that operates from June through August. It is only a 15 minute drive from [[Dallas, Texas]]. It is sanctioned by the [[Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association]] (PRCA). In 2020, it received the PRCA Small Rodeo of the Year award. It also received the Texas Small Rodeo of the Year award.<ref name="Mesquite">{{cite web |title=Mesquite Championship Rodeo |url=https://www.mesquiterodeo.com/ |website=Mesquite Rodeo |access-date=September 10, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Letter From: Mesquite Championship Rodeo |url=https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2010/june/letter-from-mesquite-championship-rodeo/ |website=D Magazine |date=May 19, 2010 |access-date=September 10, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Mesquite Championship Rodeo to close out season's wild ride with final weekend |url=https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2021/08/26/mesquite-championship-rodeo-to-close-out-seasons-wild-ride-with-final-weekend/ |website=Dallas News |access-date=10 September 2021 |date=August 27, 2021}}</ref>

==History==
Charlie Columbus McNally founded The original Mesquite Rodeo, which was a permanent location and did not move from town to town. It was held at the Charlie McNally's Arena which was located on Hickory Tree Road, a little to the north of present Rodeo Drive. The original Mesquite Rodeo dates from about 1946 but was preceded by the Pleasant Mound Rodeo which began in 1941, also started by Charlie McNally and is where Neal Gay got his start in 1945.<ref name="Audry">{{cite web |title=Mesquite |url=https://audry.carerealestatetx.com/areas/mesquite |website=Audry Guerra Real Estate |access-date=September 10, 2021}}</ref><ref name="ESPN">{{cite web |title=Mesquite Rodeo founder Gay honored |url=https://www.espn.com/prorodeo/news/story?page=g_news_NealGayStatue |website=ESPN.com |access-date=September 10, 2021 |date=September 26, 2003}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Mesquite, TX |url=https://www.cityofmesquite.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1191 |website=City of Mesquite, TX |access-date=September 10, 2021}}</ref>

It was located on the northeast corner of Buckner Boulevard and Scyene Road. Ironically, it was closed when the City of Dallas annexed Pleasant Mound in 1950 and refused to issue a special zoning permit to the rodeo. Shortly thereafter Neal Gay, [[Jim Shoulders]], Ira Akers and their associates purchased C.C. McNally's property in 1957. They built a new arena on the south side of the property on the north side of present Rodeo Drive for the 1958 opening of the professional, soon to be renamed, Mesquite Championship Rodeo. The entrance was still on Hickory Tree Road and passed north of the open arena (the roof was added in 1964) to a parking area on the west side. The brick kilns were just a few hundred feet southeast of the arena. The present arena was built in 1986 further south of the 1958 arena on the site of one of the clay pits. Rodeo Drive and Neal Gay Drive were constructed about the same time. The 1958 arena was torn down and the site remains undeveloped.<ref name="ESPN" />

All that area had been in the Mesquite City limits since the mid 1950s expansion during the post war housing boom. The 1970 opening of 635 did not have any physical effect on the Mesquite Rodeo property, but it did provide the visibility that led to increased attendance.<ref name="VisitTexas">{{cite web |title=The History of Rodeo in |url=https://www.visitmesquitetx.com/p/articles/the-history-of-rodeo-in-the-rodeo-capital-of-texas |website=Visit Mesquite Texas |access-date=September 10, 2021}}</ref>

The Mesquite Championship Rodeo was televised on [[ESPN]] from 1981 to 1986, and from 1986 to 1999 on [[The Nashville Network|TNN]]. In the 2000s, it was televised on [[Fox Sports Networks]]. It reached over 8.3 million households, to date, the most televised rodeo in the world next to the NHSRA 20X Rodeo High telecast on [[RFD-TV]]. Since 2020, the Mesquite Championship Rodeo is televised live on [[The Cowboy Channel]] and streamed live on the paywall-subscription-based ''Cowboy Channel+'' app.<ref name="ESPN" />

In 1985, ground was broken for the [[Mesquite Convention Center and Arena|Mesquite Arena]], a new facility for the Mesquite Rodeo, located near Interstate 635 and Scyene Road. By 1998, the facility was expanded to include a Convention Center, Exhibition Hall and a Hampton Inn & Suites. In 1999, [[Tom Hicks]], owner of the [[Texas Rangers (baseball)|Texas Rangers]] and the [[Dallas Stars]], purchased Mesquite Championship Rodeo.<ref name="Audry" />

By 2001, attendance had grown to 200,000 during the season. In 2009, a group of investors formed a company called Camelot Sports & Entertainment and purchased the Mesquite Championship Rodeo from Hicks for an undisclosed sum. Camelot has reportedly invested nearly $1.5 million by adding high definition video boards over the bucking chutes, remodeling and refurbishing many of the suites in Mesquite Arena and adding a private restaurant called the 8 Second Club, which its members can use throughout the year. It was renamed Resistol Arena for several years after the [[Resistol]] hat company purchased the naming rights.<ref name="Audry" /><ref>{{cite web |title=The Mesquite Championship Rodeo Keeps Authentic Texan Traditions Alive - C&I Magazine |url=https://www.cowboysindians.com/2020/06/mesquite-championship-rodeo/ |website=Cowboys and Indians Magazine |access-date=September 10, 2021 |date=June 1, 2020}}</ref>

[[File:Felthat.jpg|right|thumb|A felt cowboy hat]]The '''cowboy hat''' is a high-crowned, wide-[[brimmed]] [[hat]] best known as the defining piece of attire for the [[North America]]n [[cowboy]]. Today it is worn by many people, and is particularly associated with [[ranch]] workers in the [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[Mexico]], [[Central America]] and [[Brazil]], [[Station (Australian agriculture)|station]] workers in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]], with many [[country music|country]], [[regional Mexican]] and [[sertanejo music]]{{efn|Sertanejo is a Brazilian musical rhythm associated with rural areas in the [[Centro-Sul|Centre-South of Brazil]] that originated from [[caipira]] music. Due to [[Americanization|American cultural influence]], musicians of this musical rhythm sought to adopt and imitate the fashion used by [[North America]]n singers and actors in western films, although the rhythm developed independently, with no connection to Mexican Regional music or to American and Canadian Country music. Sertanejo, in a metaphorical sense, emerged through convergent evolution.{{cn|date=August 2024}} }} performers, and with participants in the North American [[rodeo]] circuit. It is recognized around the world as part of traditional [[American frontier|Old West]] apparel.

The cowboy hat as known today has many antecedents to its design, including Mexican hats such as the [[sombrero]], the various designs of wide-brimmed hats worn by farmers and stockmen in the [[eastern United States]], as well as the designs used by the [[United States Cavalry]].

The first western model was the open-crowned "[[Boss of the Plains]]", and after that came the front-creased Carlsbad, destined to become the most prominent cowboy style.{{sfn|Foster-Harris|2007|p=106}} The high-crowned, wide-brimmed, soft-felt western hats that followed are intimately associated with the cowboy image.{{sfn|Snyder|1997|p=5}}

==History==
[[File:Trajes mexicanos rancheros - Johan Moritz Rugendas (1830’s).jpg |thumbnail|upright|Typical Mexican sombrero of the 1830s to 1850s.]]
Cowboy hats, like the [[sombreros]] of Mexico, were designed in response to the demands of the physical environment. High crowns provide insulation, and wide brims provide shade. Hot and sunny climates inspire such tall-crowned, wide-brimmed designs,{{sfn |Bender|1994|p=[https://archive.org/details/hatscowboyswhowe00bend/page/10/mode/2up 10]}} and hats with one or both of these features have evolved again and again in history and across cultures. For example, the Greek [[petasos]] of two millennia ago, and the [[Asian conical hat|traditional conical hat]] widespread in different regions of Asia{{snd}}and worn into modern times{{snd}}incorporate such heat-mitigating features.{{efn|Attributed to multiple sources.{{sfn|Peralta|2012}}{{sfn|Sacks|2005}}{{sfn|China National Silk Museum|n.d.}}}} Inclusion in headgear for [[equestrianism|riders on horseback]] can be seen at least as far back as the [[Mongol invasion of Europe|Mongolian horsemen]] of the 13th century.{{efn|Attributed to multiple sources.{{sfn |Bender|1994|p=[https://archive.org/details/hatscowboyswhowe00bend/page/10/mode/2up 10]}}{{sfn|Cartwright|2019|loc=}}{{sfn|Dai|Lu|Li|1998|p=82}}{{sfn|Huang|Chen|1995|loc=p. 249, pl. 8}}{{sfn|Cammann|1963}}{{sfn|Shea|2020|p=89}}}}

It is not clear when the cowboy hat received its name. European-Americans in the Western United States originally had no standard headwear. People moving West wore many styles of hat, including [[top hat]]s, [[bowler hat|bowlers]], Civil War headgear such as cavalry and [[slouch hat]]s, and [[sailor hat]]s.{{sfn|Carlson|1998|loc=at: [https://archive.org/details/bossofplainshatt0000carl_v7n8/page/n5/mode/2up n5] (unpaginated) }}

According to [[Lucius Beebe]], the bowler was the most widely-worn hat in the American West, prompting him to assert, in contradiction to popular belief, that the bowler, not the cowboy hat, was "the hat that won the West".{{sfn|Beebe|1957}} The working cowboy wore wide-brimmed and high-crowned hats. The hats were most likely adopted from Civil-War-era slouch hats that were commonly worn by Confederate soldiers who lacked the official uniform and [[kepi]] hat of the Union army; they may have also been influenced by the Mexican [[vaquero]]s before the invention of the modern design.{{sfn|Bender|1994|p=[https://archive.org/details/hatscowboyswhowe00bend/page/10/mode/2up 11]}} [[John Batterson Stetson]] is credited for originating the modern-day American cowboy hat.{{sfn|Sobey|1999|p=95}}
[[File:1800s Boss of the plains 5.jpg|thumb|A [[Boss of the Plains]] hat]]
The original "[[Boss of the Plains]]", manufactured by Stetson in 1865, was flat-brimmed, had a straight sided crown, with rounded corners.{{sfn|Snyder|1997|p=73}} These light-weight, waterproof hats were natural in color, with four-inch crowns and brims.{{sfn|Snyder|1997|p=51}} A plain hatband was fitted to adjust head size.{{sfn|Bender|1994|p=54}} The sweatband bore [[John B. Stetson|Stetson]]'s name.{{sfn|Snyder|1997|p=5}}{{sfn|Christian|1992|pp=57–58}} There was only one style of hat, but they were made in different qualities ranging from one-grade material at five dollars apiece to pure [[beaver]] felt hats for thirty dollars each.{{sfn|Reynolds|Rand|1995|p=[https://archive.org/details/cowboyhatbook0000reyn/page/14/mode/2up 15]}} J. B. Stetson was the first to market the "Boss of the Plains" to cowboys, and it has remained the universal image of the American West.{{sfn|Reynolds|Rand|1995|p=[https://archive.org/details/cowboyhatbook0000reyn/page/16/mode/2up 17]}} The charisma of the [[Wild West|West]] was carried back East when adventurers returned in the expensive "Boss of the Plains"-style hat.{{sfn|Snyder|1997|p=49}}

The cowboy hat has been adopted as a regional identifier among [[Māori people|Māori]] tribes ([[iwi]]) living in [[Gisborne District]] of New Zealand's [[North Island]] collectively called "[[Māori Battalion#Formation|Ngā Kaupoi]]" ('the cowboys') for their native adoption of horses; one of its resident politicians, [[Rawiri Waititi]], is well known for his hat-donning appearance.{{sfn|Muru-Lanning|2020}} [[Hawaii]]'s [[cowboy#Hawai'i|paniolo]] wear ''papale'' woven from [[pandanus]] leaves taken directly from the design of the Mexican sombrero.{{sfn|Martin|1987|pp=74–75}}

==Design==
[[File:Stetson cowboy hat 1920s renovated.jpg|thumb|Stetson hat manufactured in the 1920s]]
Modern cowboy hats are made of fur-based [[felt]], [[straw]] or, less often, [[leather]]. They are sold with a tall, rounded crown and a wide flat [[brim (hat)|brim]]. They have a simple sweat band on the inside to stabilize the fit of the head, and usually a small decorative hat band on the outside of the crown. Hats are customized by creasing the crown and rolling the brim. Hats are also sold pre-creased and pre-rolled. Often a more decorative hat band is added. In some places, "stampede strings" or "wind strings" are also attached. Hats can be manufactured in virtually any color, but are most often seen in shades of beige, brown and black. Beginning in the 1940s, [[pastel]] colors were introduced, seen often on hats worn by movie cowboys and rodeo riders.{{sfn|Snyder|1997|p=27}} "Today's cowboy hat has remained basically unchanged in construction and design since the first one was created in 1865 by [[John B. Stetson Company|J. B. Stetson]]."{{sfn|Reynolds|Rand|1995|p=[https://archive.org/details/cowboyhatbook0000reyn/page/8/mode/2up 8]}}

==Modern designs==

The modern cowboy hat has remained basically unchanged in [[construction]] and underlying [[design]] since the Stetson creation.{{sfn|Reynolds|Rand|1995|p=[https://archive.org/details/cowboyhatbook0000reyn/page/8/mode/2up 8]}}
The cowboy hat quickly identified its wearer as someone associated with the West.{{sfn|Reynolds|Rand|1995|p=[https://archive.org/details/cowboyhatbook0000reyn/page/10/mode/2up 10]}} "Within a decade the name 'John B. Stetson' became synonymous with the word 'hat' in every corner and culture west of the [[Mississippi River]]."{{sfn|Bender|1994|p=12}} The shape of the hat's crown and brim were often modified by the wearer for fashion and to protect against [[weather]] by being softened in hot steam, shaped, and allowed to dry and cool. Because of the ease of personalization, it was often possible to tell where a cowboy hat was from, right down to which [[ranch]], simply by looking at the crease in the crown.{{sfn|Reynolds|Rand|1995|p=[https://archive.org/details/cowboyhatbook0000reyn/page/16/mode/2up 17]}} Common modern hat creases include the classic Cattleman crease, Cool Hand Luke, Minick, Brick, and the Gus.{{Sfnp|NPR|2023}}

Later as the mystique of the [[Wild West]] was popularized by entertainers such as [[Buffalo Bill]] and [[Western (genre)|western films]] starring actors such as [[Tom Mix]], the Cowboy hat came to symbolize the [[American West]].{{sfn|Reynolds|Rand|1995|p=[https://archive.org/details/cowboyhatbook0000reyn/page/14/mode/2up 15]}} [[John Wayne]] christened them "the hat that won the West".{{sfn|Snyder|1997|p=5}} The Boss of the Plains design influenced various wide-brimmed hats worn by [[farm]]ers and [[rancher]]s all over the United States. Later designs were customized for law enforcement, military and motion pictures.

The first American law-enforcement agency to adopt Stetson's western hat as part of their uniform was the [[Texas Ranger Division|Texas Rangers]].{{sfn|Snyder|1997|p=10}} The [[Texas Legislature]] designated the cowboy hat as the official "State Hat of Texas" in 2015.{{sfn|Hatch|2022|p=22}}

== Variations ==
===Ten-gallon hats===

Some cowboy hats have been called "ten-gallon" hats. The term came into use about 1925.{{sfn|Bender|1994|p=31}} There are multiple theories for how the concept arose.

One theory is that the term "ten-gallon" is a corruption of the Spanish modifier {{lang|es|tan galán}}, which loosely translates as "really handsome"{{sfn|Tobar|2013}} or "so fine". For example, "{{lang|es|un sombrero tan galán}}" translates as "such a fine hat".

Another theory is that the term "ten-gallon" is a corruption of the Spanish term {{lang|es|galón}}, which means "[[galloon]]", a type of narrow braided trim around the crown, possibly a style adapted by [[vaqueros|Spanish cowboys]]. When Texas cowboys misunderstood the word {{lang|es|galón}} for "gallon", the popular, though incorrect, legend may have been born. According to Reynolds and Rand, "The term ten-gallon did not originally refer to the holding capacity of the hat, but to the width of a Mexican [[sombrero]] hatband, and is more closely related to this unit of measurement by the Spanish than to the water-holding capacity of a Stetson."{{sfn|Reynolds|Rand|1995|p=[https://archive.org/details/cowboyhatbook0000reyn/page/10/mode/2up 11]}}

Early print advertising by Stetson showed a cowboy giving his horse a drink of water from a hat.{{sfn|Snyder|1997|p=11}} The Stetson company notes that a "ten-gallon" ({{convert|10|usgal|L|0|abbr=off|sp=us|disp=out}}) hat holds only {{convert|3/4|usgal|l}}.{{sfn|Reynolds|Rand|1995|p=[https://archive.org/details/cowboyhatbook0000reyn/page/10/mode/2up 11]}}{{sfnp|Stetson Co.|2024}}

===Calgary White Hat===
{{main|Calgary White Hat}}
The [[Calgary White Hat]] is a white felt cowboy hat which is the symbol of both the [[Calgary Stampede]] annual rodeo and the city of [[Calgary]]. Created by Morris Shumiatcher, owner of Smithbilt Hat Company, it was worn for the first time at the 1946 Stampede. In the early 1950s, Mayor of Calgary [[Donald Hugh Mackay]] began presenting the white hat to visiting dignitaries, a tradition that the office of the mayor continues to this day. Thousands of tourists and groups also participate in "white hatting ceremonies" conducted by Tourism Calgary and by volunteer greeters at the [[Calgary International Airport]]. In 1983, the Calgary White Hat was incorporated into the design of the [[flag of Calgary]].{{sfn|Klaszus|2016}}
