TurkeyFest

The Cuero Turkeyfest will be held October 12-14, and is held annually the second weekend of October and features food, dances, a parade, entertainment for the whole family, and of course the final heat in the "Great Gobbler Gallop" turkey race to see who gets the title of “Turkey Capital of the World”. 

Some other highlights of Turkeyfest include: 
Jalepeno Eating Contest 
BBQ & Chili Cook-offs 
Tractor Pull 
Some of the best Texas music around 

Also, for your enjoyment you are guaranteed lots of Food and Beer with plenty of Arts & Crafts vendors, Washer Pitching, and Horseshoe Throwing. Discover a little history at the South Texas Wheel Spinners Tractor Show, authentic Dutch Oven Cooking and Living History. For children's activities we have a Kiddie Parade and Tractor Pull, and Carnival.
