A $10,000 cash prize will be the main attraction when the Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo Committee hosts its Dinner, Dance & $10,000 Draw Down as the official kickoff fundraiser for Pioneer Days. The event is set for Saturday, February 14, 2026, at 6:00 PM at the Pickle Creek Event Center, 822 NE 6th Street in Guymon.

Tickets are listed at $100 each and include two meals and one draw entry; the product page advertises "An evening of dinner, dancing, and prizes! Join us on February 14, 2026, at the Pickle Creek Event Center for live music by the Jimmy Lee Jordan Band, a prime rib dinner for two, and a chance to win $10,000 cash." The Jimmy Lee Jordan Band will provide live music, and organizers note additional chances to win through a chip draw, gun draw, and other raffles. A snapshot of the ticket listing showed 41 in stock; organizers can be reached at (580) 338-3376 or via email at guycofc@gmail.com, and the Guymon Rodeo office is listed at 206 NW 5th St., Suite 3, Guymon.

Local businesses underwrite the fundraiser; sponsors explicitly thanked in event copy include Bill Blackmore Livestock Transportation Inc., Bob’s Cowboy Bar, Advanced H2O, and REFZ Sports Bar & Grill. The Guymon Chamber of Commerce newsletter carrying the announcement describes the night with a hometown flourish: "GUYMON, OK-Get ready to dust off your dancing boots and press your luck!" by BL Cummings. The event was promoted on social media as well; an Instagram post from the guymonrodeo account said, "The Dinner, Dance & Draw Down is shaping up to be a night to remember."

Beyond the Feb. 14 fundraiser, the Chamber's February newsletter lists a packed community calendar that includes Feb 6 - Eggs & Issues hosted by TCEC; Feb 7 - Fair Board Elections; Feb 7 - OPSU Top Hand Auction; Feb 8 - Oakes of Mamre Souper Bowl Lunch; Feb 14 - Dinner, Dance & Draw Down; Feb 17 - Main Street Guymon Banquet; Feb 19 - PSC Lunch & Learn; Feb 25 - Panhandle Career Connections @ OPSU; Feb 26 - Rotary Bingo Night; March 6 - Eggs & Issues hosted by PTCI; March 13-20 - Spring Break; March 23 - NWOA Legislative Reception.

The Pioneer Days Old-Timer’s Committee is asking for theme suggestions and nominations. Theme suggestions and Old-Timer nominations are due by 5:00 p.m., Friday, February 27, 2026; theme submissions should include the submitter's name and phone number and be short, concise, and suitable for logo development tied to the Oklahoma Panhandle's pioneer history. Nominations must be submitted in writing with a short biography and meet criteria including descent from settlers of No Man's Land in the late 1800s or early 1900s, residency in Texas, Cimarron, or Beaver County at the time of the honor, at least 50 years of Panhandle residency, and willingness to serve if selected. Written submissions are to be mailed or dropped off at the Guymon Chamber of Commerce office, 122 NW 4th, Guymon.

The fundraiser is an important revenue source for Pioneer Days programming and local nonprofits that benefit from parade proceeds and community events. For attendees, organizers and sponsors, the immediate questions are ticket availability, accessibility, food accommodations, and public-safety planning for a large indoor meal and dance. Contact the listed phone or email to confirm current ticket inventory, any accessibility or dietary accommodations, and the event schedule. The coming weeks will show whether the Feb. 14 draw brings a full room and helps sustain the spring Pioneer Days traditions that anchor Guymon's civic calendar.
