Cowboy Ruckus was created by John Cerney and installed in 2016. The two 18-foot-tall cowboys appear to be arguing from opposite sides of the highway. Unlike other Cerney pieces, these signs are double-sided so they can be seen from either direction of the road between Vaughn and Roswell.

We needed a Chili Cook Off Theme song for the 2017 National Sales Meeting, so of course I jumped on it with a corny midi track I scooped off of the freemidi.com website. Ghost Riders in the Sky. Animal sound and cowboys hollering were from the free archive.com site. Lyrics and vocals by yours truly.

Yippee Eye Aye

If you ain’t had our chili
Then you don’t know it’s the best
Cuz chili isn’t chili
if it’s not from the South West

Our recipe, a favorite
A hundred years or more
You smell it, you come running
You’re pounding at the door

We’re certain that our chili
Is the best thing ever dreamed
Our chili is perfected
With a glob of sour cream

Some Fritos and some onions
And some chiles, red and green
And any kind of hot sauce
Will make you wanna scream!

So grab yourself a big bowl
a napkin and a spoon,
You’re welcome back for seconds
We hope to see you soon!

Cuz once you’ve had our chili
You’ll know that it’s the best.
Cuz chili isn’t chili,
If it’s not from the South West!!

Yeeeeee – Hawwwww!!!
