But in the small South Texas town of Cuero, ninety miles southeast of San Antonio, devoted revelers converge a month earlier for a literal turkey trot. Most of the events at Turkeyfest are typical small-town Texas festival fare: a parade But the main attraction is the Great Gobbler Gallop a live turkey race that celebrates more than a century of Cuero’s rich turkey history.  Turkeyfest is the latest iteration of a long line of turkey-related festivities in Cuero The tradition dates back to the late 1800s when local farmers would drive turkeys on foot across the countryside to sell at the market every autumn The birds were presented to visiting buyers and shipped to arrive in northeastern cities in time for Thanksgiving—likely explaining why the festival has long been held in October The sight of thousands of turkeys parading down Main Street attracted crowds and legend has it that one of the big-city turkey buyers admired the scene and made a remark along the lines of “You should do something with this,” planting the seed that an annual turkey drive could be a stand-alone attraction for the town the Great Gobbler Gallop has played up a lighthearted rivalry between Cuero and Worthington Both towns call themselves the Turkey Capital of the World; to settle the debate over who truly deserves the title and award bragging rights for the year to come Worthington ships one of its turkeys to race a Cuero bird at Turkeyfest each year I attended the fifty-second annual Turkeyfest and spirits were high on the morning of October 12 Cuero’s Ruby Begonia and Worthington’s Paycheck (so named “because nothing goes faster than your paycheck”) lined up on the intersection of Esplanade and Main waiting for the signal to start as hundreds of onlookers clogged the sidewalks Many of those in attendance wore Cuero Gobblers football jerseys and pins reading “Ruby Begonia for President.” The towns’ racing teams—volunteers who run behind the birds to keep them moving in the right direction—braced themselves Paycheck trotted straight into the sidelines racking up a number of penalties in the process and Ruby Begonia sprinted full steam ahead with Ruby speeding down the finish line in less than 43 seconds and the crowd erupting into applause Ruby had won the comically large Traveling Turkey Trophy of Tumultuous Triumph while the loser took home the comparatively puny Circulating Consolation Cup of Consummate Commiseration.  Half of each bird’s score had already been recorded a month earlier at the King Turkey Day in Worthington in September Ruby Begonia emerged the victor of that race too—officially with a thirty-second lead with some Cuero citizens in attendance speculating that it was more like two minutes “The embellishment of a win in Texas is okay,” argued 2012 Turkey Trot Sultan Yekrut Joe Adams all parties agreed that Ruby was the undisputed winner I hope he doesn’t make it home,” said Lonny Johnson “That was the city’s centennial,” recalled Kahlich who had the opportunity to fly in the blimp that year “The local tire company sold Goodyear tires and had enough pull to get them to the ’72 celebration.” But a decline in the regional turkey farming industry combined with a shift in turkey breeding to favor larger “broad-breasted,” i.e. breeds caused Cuero to cease the turkey trot that same year which has its own history of turkey farming and parading Members of both communities agreed to the idea of a turkey race and the Great Gobbler Gallop has been hosted annually ever since (except in 2020) 2012 marked the hundredth anniversary of the first turkey trot and organizers paid homage to the original format by fusing elements of Turkeyfest and the turkey trot and the Turkish ball came back in full swing “My wife and my sister made my costume,” says Adams “I wear a black cowboy hat all the time and they said I had to wear a king’s hat so they designed the turban around my cowboy hat.” Ruby Begonia made Cuero proud and swept the Great Gobbler Gallop that year “Paycheck fell to pieces and Ruby was doing him pretty bad,” says Adams “So I picked that turkey up and ran him across the finish line But I made damn sure Ruby still won.”  Cuero takes the process of selecting Ruby Begonia seriously The racing turkey is chosen in June or July; because sprightly Rio Grande turkeys are difficult to come by farmers look to heritage breeders or even capture wild turkeys to compete “I don’t know how many years ago it was I came across a turkey nest of eight or ten eggs down by the railroad track,” said Adams “We got a Ruby out of that batch.” Over the years the selection process has become a party unto itself with Cuero shutting down Main to race five or six birds in a test run Though Ruby might be the same bird for a few years in a row each is ultimately retired after a few Turkeyfests “They get too used to people and don’t run away anymore,” says longtime Turkeyfest board member and turkey breeder Cory Thamm Transporting Ruby Begonia from Cuero to Minnesota every year is just as complex The racing bird undergoes a full checkup to ensure that he or she is healthy and won’t bring any fowl-borne diseases to Worthington “We call the office of agriculture in Minneapolis which is used to dealing with large numbers of livestock,” says Thamm “Then we have to explain why we’re only bringing one or two turkeys.” There’s also the mental tax the trip puts on the turkeys The Cuero racing team sometimes takes a cue from horse transporters bringing along another turkey as a travel buddy to keep Ruby more relaxed.  the relationship between Cuero and Worthington has become much more than just poultry-based and generations of friendships have been forged I went up to Worthington to race four years in a row,” reminisces Kahlich.  “It’s a rivalry for sure but it’s more of a renewal of comradeship,” Adams says In 2017 after Hurricane Harvey brought devastating floods to Cuero Worthington supported its sister city by sending a cargo trailer full of food and supplies “They really stepped up to bat,” says Turkeyfest president Trent Kainer “We have a deep connection.” In 2023 the Cuero faction chartered a bus of fifty people to travel to Worthington for the King Turkey Day heat “Some of our best friends are sixteen-hundred miles away but it’s like you see them every day,” muses Thamm “It’s crazy to think that it’s all because of a turkey race.” while in full celebration mode after the race “We’ve had our feathers handed to us plenty of times,” Adams says Jaxxon Marie competing in the 110m Hurdles placing 2nd with a time of 16.15 (Photo by Courtney Kubesch) Emeree Dasilva making the clear exchange to Mauryanna Dasilva during the 4x200 Relay The Lady Gobblers placed 1st with a time of 1:43:97 Caidence Grahmann starts the 4x200 relay for the Varsity Girls team Jake Janssen takes off after the hand off from Jaxxon Marie in the 4x200 relay To access content, please login or purchase a subscription We recognise you are attempting to access this website from a country belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA) including the EU which enforces the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and therefore cannot grant you access at this time e-mail us at staff@crossroadstoday.com or call us at 361-575-2500 and invaluable heirloom jewelry are now lost beneath the smoldering ruins of the Hill residence are amazed at the community's outpour of support and appreciate the generosity achieved their dream of living in the country many years ago when they settled in Cuero with their three children: Dana fleeing their home barefoot and disoriented.  Among the smoldering ruins were the remains of cherished family photos Janie mourns the loss of so many irreplaceable items and wistfully wishes she had gone back to save more from the fire They are currently staying in a hotel room and plan to rebuild their home  “I want to thank the fire department for their efforts We are so appreciative of the generosity and kindness of everyone and offering to help us in any way they could,” Janie said Hill has served as a doctor at Cuero Regional Hospital a former accountant for an oil company in San Antonio the café has become a cornerstone of the community With 19 years of operation under their belt they were planning a celebration for their 20th anniversary.  greet customers with smiles and witty quips Known for its delicious spaghetti recipe passed down from Janie’s grandmother drawing in patrons who love the fried chicken on Tuesdays “The community support in the restaurant has been incredible We've got regulars that are probably in five days a week almost as many loyal customers continued to order takeout,” Taylor said Janie has a special place in her heart for children and has served as both a counselor and teacher she is heavily involved in the Little League and even taking on the task of cleaning the restrooms.  he finds that woodturning provides a mental break from the hospital You can find his beautifully handcrafted wooden bowls He may need more mental breaks in the weeks to come as the process of rebuilding begins But the Hills will have the support of the community they have served for so long “I’m amazed at the outpouring of the community
