Location of Waynoka's 1st Rodeo Ground

"I was raised in Waynoka and had heard stories there was a rodeo ground west of town in the area close to Hutchinson's slaughter house. I'm interested if anyone knows the exact location.

Incidently, you might ask Connie & Dorthy about the "Dirty Bra Bop" they used to perform at Kelsey's house when in Waynoka (Oklahoma).

I am a far removed Northwest Oklahoman as I live in Eastern Europe in Moldova which is one of the former Soviet Republics. Was just curious about the possibility of the rodeo grounds location west of Waynoka.

I no longer have ties to Waynoka as all of my family from Waynoka have moved elsewhere. You probably don't remember much about Waynoka, but it was a great little town prior to its demise with the departure of the railroad. I was close friends with Bill Dean Kelsey and was at his house on a couple of occasions when your sisters were there (Thus the "Dirty Bra Bop" performance). In addition, I attended a couple of parties at the McGill house out on Hwy 14, and had one date with Connie. I last saw Dorthy when I returned from the war in Vietnam and she was working at the VFW club in Alva. However, one of my brother-in-laws (Bob LeValley) was the Ag Extension Agent in Alva for several years and he used to mention Dorthy on occasion. Anyways, a lot of great memories of some really nice people." -- Mike Robertson - Email: trvlnman74@hotmail.com
