Healdton will be packed this weekend as it celebrates its heritage and community during Oilfield Days.

The annual celebration kicks off Friday with the first night of the Healdton Chamber of Commerce Oilfield Days Rodeo and will continue into Saturday, starting with the 46th Old Timers Breakfast. Throughout the day, there will be something for everyone with activities ranging from a car show to cornhole tournament.

“It is our biggest event every year,” Healdton Chamber of Commerce Coordinator Amber Ford said. “And the money we make from this event goes back into the community. Whether it is a mural on a building or new chutes, we put the money into the community.”

Ford said planning for the event begins in February and all six months are needed to get organized and make the event a success. This year, there will be some changes evident with the first night of the rodeo with new chutes and announcer’s box.

The Old Timer’s Breakfast will begin at 7 a.m. at the Healdton Middle School cafeteria during which the Oilman of the Year will be named. Breakfast is free with donations accepted. In addition to the Oilman of the Year, cash prizes will be awarded to attendees 75 and older. The oldest person attending will also be recognized.

The car show, held on the grounds of the oil museum, will feature 30 trophies awarded with registration from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. People can view the cars while waiting for the parade to start. There will also be a band, Backfire, a country music cover band.

The parade will begin lining up at 9 a.m. with a 10 a.m. start. Ford said the longest parade lasted 35 to 40 minutes with hopes this year will last as long if not longer.

“After the parade, everybody will go to the car show,” Ford said. “There will be vendors and food trucks. There will also be a cornhole tournament. It will shut down around 2 p.m. and we will go back to the rodeo.”

The rodeo starts at 8 p.m. each night. Saturday evening will serve as the coronation for both the rodeo queen and princess.
