• World Banner Wars occurs on this, it's accustomed weekend, Oct 10th-12th. Gate fee this year is a miniscule five dollars, no matter when you arrive. This weekend also has a local sporting event; the Red River Shoot Out, an annual college football game between the University of Texas Longhorns and the University of Oklahoma Sooners.
